 Social Inclusion Week 17 November to 24 November 2014

On Wednesday 19 November in the Council Chamber, County Hall, Tallaght, Mayor Fintan Warfield will announce the winners of the Art/Writing Competition on Celebrating Social Inclusion.

There were 650 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. The children were asked to “Design a banner or a slogan to welcome new people into your community”. In an age of technology it is wonderful that they get to use their artistic skills whenever possible.

One of the designs from the children was “”Fáilte Chuíg hÉireann” and they incorporated leprechauns into the picture.

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.
