Lyric Theatre and DAERA partner on Eco project for schools
The Lyric Theatre has partnered with the Department of Agriculture Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) to deliver a new environmental themed project to primary school children across Northern Ireland.
Directors Jess Williams and Michael Biegel have worked with a group of five young actors to devise an exciting, new piece of theatre aiming to raise awareness on issues of littering and plastic pollution.
The play will tour to primary schools throughout March and conclude with performances at the Eco Schools Conference.
Erin Hoey, Schools Coordinator Lyric Theatre: “We are delighted to be partnering with the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to deliver this exciting, new environmental project to primary school audiences.
“This will be one of the Creative Learning department’s biggest educational ventures to date and we are looking forward to touring a newly devised piece across the province.
Colin Breen from DAERA added: “ Education and awareness raising are proven ways to effect behaviour change so we are happy to be supporting the Lyric.”
