Five Community Facilities have embarked on a collaboration between the Community Development Office and Draiocht. This pilot project will see community choirs set up across five community centres for the last quarter of 2023. Draoicht have sourced a Choir Mater Debra Salem who will provide guidance and oversee the establishment of the community choirs. There is no audition as everyone is welcome. The main purpose is to bring people together to have fun through singing. The choirs will take place at :
- Parslickstown House
- Mountview Youth and Community Centre
- Huntstown Community Centre
- Castleknock Community Centre
- Ongar Community Centre
This initiative will provide new opportunities for those not normally engaged in community facilities to get involved. It is hoped that by the end of the project one overall choir will be established for Dublin 15. The Community Office will then explore supporting the choir under the One Town One Voice Project. The pilot project will commence on the 13th of October and will run through to the 3rd of December 2023.
