STUDIO 8 AT IMMA:Studio 8, a free drop-in space for young people aged 15-18 at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), kicks off a new season this Saturday.
Irish artist Claire Halpin will help young people to explore the IMMA collection, What happens next is a secret. Participants will develop ideas and work on creative concepts, discussing aspects of curation, such as how the placing and context of an artwork can affect the pacing, narrative and perception of exhibitions. Attendance is free and there’s no need to book. imma.ie
SWINE FLU AND MENINGITIS
School children are amongst the groups which can suffer the worst effects of swine flu, and the HSE is advising teens to get the vaccine. HSE vaccination teams are visiting schools around the country to administer vaccines to school children and staff.
Meanwhile, the Meningitis Trust has developed a teachers’ handbook, Meningitis Education for All, which contains all the information that primary and secondary schools need to know about meningitis. Download the handbook on meningitis-trust.ie or call the 24-hour nurse helpline on 1800-523-19624.
