SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION ART COMPETITION
On Wednesday 11th November at 3.00 pm in the Council Chamber, County Hall, Tallaght Mayor Mick Duff in the presence of Ms. Emily Logan, Ombudsman for Children’s Office will announce the winners of the Creativity and Innovation Competition.
The idea behind this competition was to ask the Children living here in South Dublin County to be creative and imaginative. There were over 300 entries for the competition. This competition provided the children with the opportunity to develop their learning experiences by showing their creativity through language and art. In an age of technology it is wonderful that they get to use their language 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.
