Dee Forbes, Director General, RT said: RT is delighted to once again play an important role in supporting the Cruinni na n g programme. While RT has been involved in Cruinni from the outset, this year's programme, in the midst of a global pandemic, is perhaps the most important - and challenging to date. As we've seen on a daily basis over these past months, creativity offers a way for our young people to stay positive, to explore this new world we are sharing and to express themselves. So, it is fitting that, through the programme of content we have put together for Cruinni na n g across television, radio and online, RT continues to support and encourage creativity in our youngest citizens, this year in their homes and gardens, while staying safe. Good luck to all involved.
To date over 460 events have been confirmed, with full details available at https://cruinniu.creativeireland.gov.ie/. These range from nationwide calls to action such as C il in the Kitchen and Let's Go Fly A Kite, to gentle poetry events for the under 4s with the Branar Theatre Company. There are plenty of activities planned that children and young people might need to practice now or create in advance, or on the day itself there will be a huge array of different activities to enjoy, from workshops and tutorials to recitals and readings, and everything in between.
Minister Madigan said: The global COVID-19 pandemic has presented significant and varied challenges to us all - not least in the area of providing direct services and activities for our citizens. Innovation and creativity have been required to address these challenges, and this has again shone a spotlight on the importance of supporting our youngest citizens to experience creative activities - to try something new, to uncover hidden talents or to hone their creative instincts. As such, on Saturday 13th June next, we will again celebrate Cruinni na n g for which we have developed a number of creative, cultural and engaging activities which children, young people - indeed entire families - can create in their own homes and gardens between now and Saturday 13th June.
Minister Madigan added: Only a few short weeks ago I announced that Cruinni na n g 2020 would go ahead, and since then we have received a wonderful response from children - and families - all over Ireland to our Calls to Action . But none of this would be possible without the extraordinary response from our Culture Team partners in each of the 31 local authorities, as well as the various local arts, culture, heritage and community groups and organisations, local artists, craft workers and creative that have risen to the challenge of making meaningful opportunities for children and young people to be creative on the 13th June.
