ImaginationGYM® “Aclaíocht don tSamhlaiocht”

Is slí spraíúil agus idirghníomhach é ImaginationGYM®(www.imaginationgym.com/)  chun cabhrú le páistí teacht ar a gcuid cruthaitheacht nádúrtha agus bua ealaíne. Is ar an gcéad chlár fuaime sa tsraith, dar teideal An Choill Draíochta, atá an cheardlann bunaithe.

Spreagann an clár fuaime le páistí a gcuid scéalta féin a chumadh trí iad a mhealladh chuig domhan na samhlaíochta, a bhfuil an béaloideas, an dúlra, ainmhithe, ceol, brionglóidí agus mianta mar chuid de. Foghlaimeoidh na páistí faoin tslí ar féidir leo cur lena gcuid samhlaíochta, agus faoin tslí ar féidir leo spraoi dearfach  a bheith acu go cruthaitheach trí leathanaigh ghníomhaíochta bunaithe ar an ealaín.

 

Is do ghrúpa páistí, idir 7 agus 12 bhliain d’aois, a dearadh an cheardlann seo, a mhaireann uair a chloig amháin.

Is gá áit a chur in áirithe mar tá spás teoranta ann.

Children’s Workshops:

 

 

We would like to introduce you to an innovative workshop programme that we have been successfully running in Libraries over the last number of years for Seachtain na Gaeilge.

 

ImaginationGYM® workshops are a fun and interactive way to help children access their natural creativity, and artistic talent. The Seachtain na Gaeilge workshop is themed around a story in the series titled An Choill Draiochta. This audio program encourages children to create their own stories by bringing them on a journey into an imaginative world of folklore, nature, animals, music, dreams and wishes. Children will learn to stretch their imagination muscles and have fun taking positive action on creativity with art activity sheets.

 

The one-hour workshop is designed for groups of children aged 7-12 years, with two workshop formats (one up to 15 children in a group and larger groups of up to 30 children). The workshop format can be arranged for children only or for children with their parents/ guardians. Workshops can be run in the library or in a school environment.

 

Examples of workshops run in the past.

 

We have run a series of eight one-hour workshops for Roscommon County Library as part of their Summer Events Programme. We also ran 16 workshops in a number of libraries (Clare, Waterford, Mayo and South County Dublin) as part of The Children’s Book Festival 2010 and 2011.Seachain na Gaeilge Workshops were run in Drogheda, Dundalk and South County Dublin Libraries in 2011 and 6 Co. Kildare Libraries in 2012.

 

Seachtain Na Gaeilge workshops are generally run completely in Irish, including all workshop materials. However bi-lingual, variants are also available.

 

Should you or the Children and Schools Librarian require further information on scheduling an ImaginationGYM® Seachtain na Gaeilge workshops in your libraries, I can be contacted on 087-6168460 or by emailing rdurkin@imaginationgym.com
