“The aim of BLAST is to provide pupils in schools all over the country with the time and the space to work with a professional artist on creative, imaginative and fun projects. These innovative classes are designed and developed between the artist, teacher and the school under the coordination of the Education Support Centres in Ireland (ESCI) network of 21 full-time education support centres” ( taken from https://artsineducation.ie/en/2022/05/27/blast-arts-in-education-residencies-school-2022-applications-open/ )
