The Alumni Project: Flies
Flies was developed through a collaborative process with alumni of The Ark’s Children’s Council. Now as teenagers, these alumni reunited to work with playwright & The Ark Engagement and Participation Artist Shaun Dunne, to explore the work of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies.
That’s a Wrap on The Ark’s 2025 BCP Programme!
Since 2021, The Ark has been supported by the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht to deliver arts and cultural activities to children around the country via their local Broadband Connection Points. We reached over 315 children across Ireland this year with our BCP programme - from Glensmole to Inishbofin!
