The inspirational project, pioneered by Transition Year students, is aimed at helping their classmates and peers to relax and unwind while promoting well-being among students and staff as they head into a weekend break.
Music Generation Clare has been set up under the National Music Education Programme to offer young people the opportunity to access a high quality performance music education. A variety of instruments are taught to the enthusiastic youngsters.
While the organisation receives funding from Clare County Council and the Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board, its parent company is co-funded by U2, The Ireland Funds, the Department of Education and Skills and Local Music Education Partnerships.
Teachers at St Patrick’s Comprehensive are very excited about the collaborative effort which is certainly engaging students in a positive and enjoyable pursuit, learning a new skill for life and entertaining their peers at the same time.

Caption: Students participating in the instrumental hub at St Patrick’s Comprehensive include: Amy Roche, Sally Fox, Alannah Willets, Robert McCarthy, Jack Ryan, and Lucy Huynh.

Having spent the weeks up to Christmas in hospital recovering from a fourth surgical procedure, Sarah says, “I’ve always been aware of having a talent for art but I’ve never put it to use. A few years ago I got sick and after several surgical interventions as well as the ongoing lockdown, it has led to mainly staying at home.” 
Sarah is working on a new website and hopes to develop her creativity into a small business, “to keep me going and motivated while I’m recovering”.

Maura’s personal stake and advocacy, derived from her experiences as the mother of an extraordinary son with a disability, lend her perspective both authenticity and urgency. She stresses the imperative of maintaining momentum in the fight for the advancement of disabled people’s rights, highlighting the book’s role as a vital educational resource: “It is critical that the pressure is kept on government to progress the rights of disabled people. I am proud mother of an incredible man who has a disability and know first hand the importance of a rights based system, a fully accessible environment and inclusive attitudes. This book is extraordinarily impressive, covering over 100 years and including 100 people’s voices. I really hope that people buy the book, learn about the efforts made to bring about change and be allies. Anyone can acquire a disability. It’s benefits everybody to respect and include disabled people.”  The book can be purchased online or in store Ennis Bookshop www.ennisbookshop.ie and the Banner Books www.bannerbooks.ie.
