baboró international arts festival for children
The leading Irish arts festival devoted exclusively to children. Funding is used to expand the outreach programme workshops from 43 to 75, targeting special needs projects, marginalised children in youth group settings, and disadvantaged schools.

“Schools travel from three counties to avail of the Baboró Festival’s rich arts experience. Some programmes are sent to schools that could not otherwise experience some of the guest artists that travel to Galway during this time. Workshops for children and for teachers are also part of the festival, to encourage children to participate in the value of aesthetic education. Support from The American Ireland Fund has been instrumental in reaching out to disadvantaged schools.”
