Cork learns to juggle to prepare for EJC 2006!
We are delighted to announce that Cork County Council Arts Office are funding juggling workshops for young people in County Cork, in Millstreet Community School and the local youth club in the months running up to the EJC itself. We hope that this will encourage local communities to participate in EJC 2006, and to establish a tradition of juggling in the area which will continue in future years. The workshops will be taught by members of Cork Community Circus, who have been trying to start a programme like this one for some time now.
Cork County Council will also be providing a grant of €2,000 towards the EJC itself, again with a view to increasing participation by the people of Millstreet. We owe many thanks to Ian McDonagh, Arts Officer of Cork County Council and to Cllr Michael Creed, Mayor of County Cork whose energy and commitment made all of this possible.
