Participants of the Drama Facilitation Training Course have gathered to celebrate their graduation in Wynns Hotel, Dublin.

Among them was Muireann Kavanagh from Kilkenny. The QQI Level 6 training is run by Youth Theatre Ireland (YTI) with support from the Creative Ireland Programme.

Key speakers at the event were Calvin Magee and Niamh McAlister who both graduated with Distinction.

The course teaches a host of transferable skills and facilitation methodologies used in youth theatre in addition to skills people can use to kick-start and plan a creative project with young people whilst exploring fresh ways of building basic drama skills with a group.
