Act Green Ireland - Sustainability survey


Join the conversation on sustainability

We all have a role to play in tackling the climate emergency. As we look to the future, we want to know how our audiences think we – and other cultural organisations you visit – should be responding to the situation and playing our part.

From the management of our buildings and the travel choices we encourage audiences to make, to the platform we have through our programme, we want to hear where you think we can make the most impact.

We have collaborated with our research partners Indigo to develop a short survey to help us explore this.

The survey should take around 10 minutes to complete. If you complete the survey you will be able to enter the prize draw to win a €100 One4All voucher. The deadline for completing the survey and entering the prize draw is 9am on Monday 15 September.

Since 2020, Galway Arts Centre has provided creative workshops for the Eglinton Youth Group in the Eglinton Direct Provision Centre.

These workshops celebrate the creativity of young people, and provide them with the resources to express their art and themselves, and to have fun.

The workshops are STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) focused; covering topics such as space, circuits, pollination, marine conservation/biology.

Led by Learning and Engagement Facilitator Aoife Natsumi Frehan

Supported by the National Youth Council of Ireland, Galway City and County Council and most recently The Community Foundation of Ireland.

In these workshops, the Eglinton Youth Group explore local marine biodiversity and the simple steps we can take to conserve the environment we live in.

Participants explore our neighbouring beaches, identify marine creatures and sea life, and take part in related arts workshops.

Supported by the The Community Foundation of Ireland and facilitated by Learning and Engagement Facilitator Aoife Natsumi Frehan & CuriOcean, a Galway-based marine conservation group.
