SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL Art Competition – Theme Volunteerism
Social Inclusion Weeks 7th November to 21st November 2011
On Wednesday 9th November at 3.00 pm in the Council Chamber, County Hall, Tallaght, Mayor Caitríona Jones will announce the winners of the Art Competition on Volunteerism.
The idea behind this competition was to ask the Children living here in South Dublin County to share their views on volunteering and how they perceive it. There were 400 entries received for the competition. This competition provided the children with the opportunity to develop their learning experiences by showing their creativity through language and art and how they can make a difference in today’s society. In an age of technology it is wonderful that they get to use their artistic skills whenever possible.
Here in South Dublin County we want to develop an inclusive county where every child has the opportunity to participate and reach their true potential. There have been important developments recently in the County such as the County Childcare Committee, the Childhood Development Initiative and South Dublin County Children’s Services Committee. These structures are working towards greater co-ordination at local level to meet the needs of children and their families living here in South Dublin County.
