Introduction

The D8 Creative Arts Summer Project (D8|CASP) is a rotating Creative Arts Project for young people aged 5-10 years living in the Dublin 8 area. Applications from those living outside the area will be considered subject to the availability of places. This is the project's third year in operation and we're delighted to be in a position to offer such a diversity of activities, which we hope will appeal to a wide range of ages and interests! The project will run over 2 weeks from July 21st to August 1st 2008, with 3 age groups each week : 5-6 yrs, 6-7 yrs and 8-10 yrs. Each project session runs from 10am - 2:30pm, Monday - Friday. Group sizes are limited to 15, and there'll be 3 different age Groups : therefore there'll be 45 young people attending the project each week. It's a quality, not quantity philosophy! The primary aim of the project is to expose young people to various aspects of the Creative Arts - Music, Dance, Drama and Arts & Crafts. Each member of the Project Team  is actively involved in the area that they teach, so they know what they're talking about and have a passion for what they do!
