In today's podcast, Donagh McKeown talks to members of #artforpeace
Artforpeace is a key part of both world@peace and the inaugural programme schools@peace, recognising the central place that art has had in humanity’s journey from Monet to Van Gogh Art like music gives children and adults a ‘safe space’ to explore their innermost thoughts, feelings, hopes, fears and dreams.
The Artforpeace project launches on the island of Ireland giving children the opportunity through art to commemorate and celebrate 25 years since the Good Friday Agreement was signed, after decades of violence. Initially entries will be online. Our aim is for the artwork to be published in a commemorative book which will be presented to Heads of State, Government and other key figures Internationally. It is the intention that the project will roll out globally in future

The Fair of Muff has been around for over 4 centuries, where the world and his wife come to look at the horses, meet a few old friends, chew the cudd and share the craic, maybe share a bottle or two of the black stuff.It's a day of great variety where old traditions run riot. One big fan is writer Shane Connaughton, who seems to have penned the perfect poem for the perfect occasion. It runs, like a river, through this walk through the fair. Muff is held at the foot of Loughinleagh, between Kingscourt and Bailieboro in South East Cavan, since the early 1600s. Donagh Mckeown is your guide through one fair day in 2007
