On the 23 September, Minister Norma Foley welcomed stakeholders from across Ireland to the Shaping the Future National Forum on Early Learning and Care and School-Age Childcare in the Department of Children, Disability, and Equality (DCDE). This event marked the end of the public consultation process on the future of early learning and care and school-age childcare (including childminders) as part of the National Conversation on Education.

Children’s Creative Spaces was a huge success with 80 services submitting artwork across 18 counties. The artwork submitted as part of the consultation brought colour and energy to the Shaping the Future National Forum and was warmly appreciated by attendees.

For those interested in exploring findings from earlier stages, short videos on local consultation findings and Children’s Creative Spaces are available on the national webpage. A full video of all the artwork is also available here:  National Conversation on Education Artwork
