DLI SUMMER SCHOOL OUTREACH WORKSHOPS
|
 
Three workshops down, and three to go in our DLI Summer School Workshop programme. We are grateful for the grant from the Dept of Culture, Heritage & Gaeltacht enabling the six one day workshops to happen.
Summer School Director Willie O'Brien reports excellent feedback on the first three days which took place in Ballina, Whitechurch, Co Cork & Corofin. Our thanks to tutors Declan Drohan, Ciarán McCauley, Aaron Monaghan & Thomas Conway, and, of course, the welcoming hosts Ballina DS, Blue Hat Productions and Corofin DS.
See the photos from the workshops below, and email summerschool@dli.ie to book your place in the upcoming events in Dublin, Meath & Offaly !

WORKSHOPS COMING YOUR WAY.....
|
 We had a few anxious hours between Wednesday and Thursday regarding our upcoming workshops as we awaited government clarification about the numbers now permitted in indoor gatherings. We received the following statement below yesterday from the relevant department. Should the workshops have to be postponed due to further Covid-19 restrictions, we will email all participants.
Following consultation with the Ministers of Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht and the Minister for Health, the following clarification applies to measures introduced with respect to the cultural sector:
Businesses/services such as museums, cinemas, theatres and art galleries are deemed to be controlled environments, with appropriate protective measures in place such as physical distancing between people. These venues can continue to operate where appropriate physical distancing and all other protective measures can continue to be maintained. Individual groupings attending these venues must be limited to six people from no more than 3 households. Overall attendance must adhere to an overall limit of 50 people.
All other indoor cultural events are subject to the 6 person maximum rule.
All outdoor events are subject to the new limits of 15. These events are deemed as mass gatherings where there is a concentration of people at a specific location for a specific purpose over a set period of time. These types of events provide opportunities for the virus to spread.
