At its plenary meeting in Merrion Square yesterday (25 March), the Council discussed the integration of the arts into the education experience of children and young people, and heard from invited guest Professor John Coolahan, Chair of the government's high-level implementation group for the Arts in Education Charter. The high-level implementation group is working to deliver a series of initiatives which support the integration of arts experiences for children and young people as part of their education in Ireland.
