"I don’t like school, but I like the swimming pool..." 🎵

Created by young people from across County Wicklow, this Cruinniú piece is a celebration of creativity, community and self-expression. From young people navigating grief, social anxiety and physical disabilities, to neurodivergent creatives and Ukrainian children who collaborated with the Kabin Crew on the soundtrack, every lyric, idea and artistic choice came directly from them.

Their message is simple but powerful: "With creativity, better days ahead of me."

Join us on June 6th for Cruinniú na nÓg 2026, Ireland's national day of free creativity for children and young people.
