Invent
A six month music project, funded through Dormant Accounts Suicide Prevention measure which saw 90 young people aged 15 - 20 from Trinity Comprehensive School, Ballymun Youthreach, Plough Youth Club and Ballymun Regional Youth Resource, develop raps, songs, and bands from January to May 2008.
There was a celebration week in May where over 200 people came to see and hear the fruits of their labours at a specially curated exhibition of their work and a concert.
Since then the young people have been invited to play in Temple Bar as part of Culture Night, at Farmleigh in the Phoenix Park as part of a series of events curated by the writer Dermot Bolger and to launch the Ballymun Education Fair and the Young Ballymun / Headstrong Youth Wellbeing Service.
