A pertinent focus on inclusion is at the core of numerous events which have been confirmed for Féile na Sionainne to take place in Athlone from August 6-8 inclusive.
Speaking this week, Inclusion Officer, Lisa Quigley, stated that it was important to create events which are supportive of all those attending Féile na Sionainne.
"It is important to create traditional Irish music experiences that are supportive of all those attending Féile na Sionainne. The aim of our inclusion programme is to ensure a safe, accessible and above all, enjoyable event for all the attendees," Ms Quigley said.
As part of the three day Irish cultural experience, the committee will host a dementia-friendly trad session in Athlone Library, a disability-friendly trad disco, a trad music therapy session for teenagers with special needs and an additional trad music therapy session with the younger children.
Spaces are filling up for these events, but there are a handful left so don’t miss out on this opportunity to attend. These events will be expertly run with HB Safety Services, Lisa Quigley and Louise O’Connor and will be hosted in St Kieran’s Community Centre, Clonbrusk.
