Éist le ceol / listen to music. A digital resource centered around the universal themes with the aid of music. Each theme will be introduced with an accompanying music playlist supported by open-ended questions to which children can respond creatively. Responses can be expressed through any creative medium whether it be with poems, short stories, essays, films, animation, voice recordings, cross-stitch, artwork, compositions, or performances: anything really! Submissions can be abstract; they can also be non-fiction, recounting real experiences. The exhibition aims to help children explore their emotions and to offer insights into childhood experiences and thoughts.
Submissions
Submissions are welcomed from young people up to the age of 18. Works should be directly submitted from carers and parents to:
info@museumofchildhood.ie
A confirmation email will be sent to signify submissions have been received and reviewed. Please do not include personal identifying information and details of the submitter or related parties. Personal identifying information encompass, but are not limited to, the following: full names, birthdays, addresses, faces, email addresses, and phone numbers.
While we strive to include all submissions within the exhibition, the final decision is made by the curator. Please make sure the submissions are appropriate and do not include any personal identifying information. We will work with parents and carers to make adjustments to works that are deemed unsuitable so they can be included.
