Arts in Education

Launched in 2015, the Arts in Education Portal is Ireland’s national resource for creativity and arts in education. The ethos is about building a community of practice within arts and education while providing a space where both creative practitioners and teachers can be supported and inspired.

Through the content that it shares, the Portal advocates for the intrinsic value of creativity and arts in the lives of children and young people. It is centred on student engagement with the curriculum by way of rich and authentic learning for the 21st century and beyond.

Submissions for the Portal are welcome on an ongoing basis, and there are templates and guidelines available for those who wish to make a submission.

The Arts in Education Portal Strategic Plan 2023–2027 is a pivotal step towards building on the success the Portal has gained since its launch. This plan is guided by a clear vision and mission, and underpinned by the core values of Innovation, Inclusivity, and Integrity.
