KILKENNY children will be among those to be taught new skills by craftspeople in the classroom following the announement by the Crafts Council of Ireland of its restructured primary schools craft programme aimed at teaching children a wide range of skills.
The CRAFTed: Learning Skills for Life Primary School Programme, undertaken in partnership with Education Centres in six regions across the country and the National Museum of Ireland, will take place during the 2010/11 academic year. It was officially launched by the Minister for Education and Skills, Mary Coughlan, in Kilkenny earlier this month.
The programme gives primary school children and teachers an exciting opportunity to explore their creativity and learn new skills by working collaboratively with professional craftspeople.
