Explorers Education Programme – Our Ocean, Our Future

As part of the Explorers Education Programme in Clare, our pupils created unique artworks from marine plastic litter that was displayed at Cultúrlann Sweeney, Kilkee from Monday 15th to Friday 26th April 2019.

This art exhibition: ‘The Circular Revolution – Towards Zero’ involved 12 primary schools across Clare and was designed and curated by Carmel Madigan, a professional artist and founder of the Loop Head Summer Hedge School.

This project involved our pupils creatively transforming plastic found along the seashore, into artworks to showcase their learnings to reduce, reuse and recycle plastics in our school, community and oceans.

The exhibition was launched by Dr Margaret Rae, Director Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance (AORA) and Ms Cushla Dromgool-Regan, Communications at the Marine Institute.
