The workshops focused on creative expression through traditional music, song, language, sean nós dance, art & film. This new work was centred around the children’s and young people’s response to learning and engaging with a newly composed suantraí (lullaby) in the Irish language called ‘Glór Naomh Bríde’ (The voice of St. Brigid).
