Ireland is the first, and only, country in the world to have a national day of free creativity for children and young people under 18. Cruinniú na nÓg is a flagship initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme’s Creative Youth Plan to enable the creative potential of children and young people. 

Cruinniú na nÓg takes place on Saturday 15th June 2024

We are now inviting submissions for funding towards projects/events which provide creative activities for children and young people in County Tipperary. Youth creativity should be the main focus including direct participation in the project/event. Following recent consultation with our young people the following broad themes emerged as activities they would like to see programmed: Arts & Crafts, Painting, Drawing, Pottery, Clay, Lego & construction activities, Music, Baking, Storytelling & Drama, Musical Theatre, Dance & Fashion Design however you are not restricted to those themes. We welcome projects/events which take place in County Tipperary on Cruinniú na nÓg day or longer-term projects which take place in advance and then culminate with an event or showcase on the 15th June 2024 

Funding between €500 - €2500 is available for this scheme. Participation in projects and events will be provided free of charge to young people.

You will find the application form and guidelines for this funding stream below.
