This is an initiative that was identified to support practice and sharing between all involved in youth arts in Tipperary and to support the development of this area of practice. It is also one of the desired outcomes of our Framework Agreement that “more artists will have had the opportunity to engage in professional development in a youth arts context.” This new Hub has been developed working in partnership with The National Youth Council of Ireland, Tipperary ETB , Youth Work Ireland Tipperary and Tipperary Arts Office. We have had a very positive take up for the first training and networking event which took place on 7th October, 2022 with a second event planned for February 2023. These events are to encourage attendance by artists and youth workers learning together and sharing practice.
