There will be lots of fun and games

ARTiculation Ireland 2019 comes to Kerry: Call for Participation

ARTiculation Ireland is a public speaking competition which promotes the appreciation and discussion of art, artefacts and architecture in secondary schools throughout Ireland. The competition seeks to engage students between 16-18 years, regardless of background or experience, with art to develop the confidence and ability to express their opinions and conclusions.
Participating students are offered the chance to deliver a ten-minute presentation before their peers and a wider audience about a work of art, an artefact or piece of architecture of their choice, through a series of internal school heats and regional heats across Ireland with the chance of being selected for the National final. In 2019, students from Tipperary, Kilkenny, Waterford, Cork, Dublin and, for the first time, Kerry will participate in this international competition. If you are a secondary school teacher and are interested in ARTiculation please contact our Education Officer at education@kerrymuseum.ie
