Background:

A steering committee of the Irish Wheelchair Association, St. Kevin’s Family Resource Centre, Tallaght Youth Service, & South Dublin County Council Arts Office was formed in December 2008 to support an initiative bringing together 2 groups of young people from the IWA Youth Service and TYS who both meet in St. Kevin’s through arts participation. The aims have been to break down barriers regarding young people with disabilities and to increase access to, knowledge of, and participation in the arts for ALL young people.
