This year, 63 primary school students from three TAP linked schools participated in ‘Bookmarks’ – a joint project of TAP and The Ark, A Cultural Centre for Children. ‘Bookmarks’ engages the students in a series of workshops designed to build confidence and develop their skills and creativity through writing and illustrating their own books. At the end of the project the handmade books went on display in The Long Room in Trinity and students were recognised for their achievements at a special awards ceremony with teachers and families in attendance. TAP is grateful for the support received from the TCD Association and Trust for ‘Bookmarks’.
