CHILDREN INVITED TO WRITE A BOOK!

Budding young writers (aged six and up) are invited to attend two FREE writing workshops at the Festival of World Cultures in Dún Laoghaire on Sunday, 30 August.

Writer Mary Branley and visual artist Vanya Labrecht will lead the workshops, which will be facilitated by Kid’s Own, an award-winning children's arts organisation specialising in collaborative projects involving professional development and publishing.
