Wednesday 28th September continued... Official Launch event 6 – 7:30pm Mansion House, Dawson Street, Dublin 2 The Official Launch of Social Inclusion Week takes place in the historic setting of Dublin’s Mansion House on Dawson Street. The Launch will feature entertainment and performances by a variety of artists including; the Visionaries School of Music, a small but extremely enthusiastic group of visually impaired musicians who make up one of Ireland’s most unique music schools. Originally formed in June 2015 with the support of Dublin City Council the Visionary Choir is now a successful on-going part of Fighting Blindness’ empowerment and support programme for visually impaired individuals. High Hopes Choir, Ireland’s first homeless choir are a powerful voice for Homelessness Awareness. The Choir was founded in 2014 and has since performed in venues as diverse as Áras an Uactharáin to Electric Picnic where they have played alongside artists like Florence and the Machine and Christy Moore. The Doyle /Halpin School of Irish Dancing is an Irish Dance School based in Ballyfermot/Cherry Orchard, Dublin 10. The School which teaches children from toddlers to seniors is based on an ethos of inclusivity and volunteerism. The school has worked with numerous charities, performing regularly at events such as the Cherry Orchard Hospital Annual Christmas Party and The Marie Keating Breast Cancer Charity’s Annual Fashion Show event. The school works hard to ensure that financial constraints don’t provide barriers to participation and they fundraise to provide their members with dresses and to fund trips outside of Dublin. Dublin City Council was proud to provide funding to ensure that Doyle Halpin could participate in the World Championships in 2015. Due to space restrictions this event is by invitation only.
