think play create & relax
The day your class will still be talking about next week
Creative Together brings hands-on workshops to primary and secondary schools across Connacht — drumming, philosophy, Sasa dance, collaborative art, and well-being sessions that support the Irish curriculum while giving pupils something genuinely memorable. Working with schools since 2011.
Time with us is time well spent — not time away from learning
Every workshop we run connects meaningfully to the Irish curriculum. Whether you're looking for support with Junior Cycle Wellbeing, SPHE, or the new Primary Curriculum Framework's emphasis on creativity and active learning — our sessions are designed to complement what your teachers are already doing, not interrupt it.
Curriculum areas our workshops support
Our sessions support wellbeing, social and emotional learning, creative arts, physical education, and inquiry-based learning across both primary and post-primary levels. Philosophy for Children (P4C) and Thinking Moves directly support the Junior Cycle short course in Philosophy and the wider Junior Cycle Wellbeing programme. Drumming, Sasa dance, and collaborative art support the creative arts strand of the Primary Curriculum Framework. Sound relaxation and mindfulness sessions support SPHE and Mental Health Awareness initiatives at both levels.

Creative Schools funding
Creative Together is listed as an artist on the Arts Council of Ireland's Creative Schools programme. If your school is part of the scheme, you may be able to use that funding to bring us in — removing the cost barrier entirely. Worth asking about when you get in touch.
Safeguarding
All Creative Together team members are fully Garda vetted and we are happy to be vetted by your school. We follow all national guidelines and best practice protocols for working with children and young people — their safety always comes first.
I found the programme to be very beneficial to the children involved. It encouraged them to become good thinkers, good listeners and to be confident individuals. Each session lasted an hour but the discussion that the lessons raised often spilt over this time as the children were very engaged by each topic. Philosophical concepts and schools of thought were presented to the children at their own level and were used as a springboard by which the children could engage in critical thinking and reasoning. The nature of these lessons encouraged the children to share their views and to listen to the viewpoints of other children too. By the end of the teaching block, even the shyer children in the class were taking a more active role in the discussions, as they were more confident in themselves and were not afraid of giving a ‘wrong’ answer. I found Lukasz to be a very good teacher, as he encouraged the children to think independently and look for their own answers. He was always extremely prepared for each lesson and was very professional.

We had LuKasz in our school for a drumming circle and sound bath. The children really enjoyed the sound bath it was amazing to introduce them to the power of sound. The drumming circle was a fabulous experience for all staff and pupils. I would highly recommend Creative together and look forward to working with them again on other projects.

I cannot rate or recommend Lukasz highly enough, he came to our Naíonra in Tourmakeady and truly transformed the whole feeling of the garden there, he brought the garden to life with the 5 senses and the children just love it. From fairies to treemen & chimes, 3D ladybirds & bees his imagination & talent is simply amazing! He is also one of the nicest friendliest guys you could meet, it was a pleasure to work with him. If your looking for murals for your home/ creche/ school don't go any further, because you will get a whole lot more than you could imagine!!!! First-class service!
