FÍS
The FÍS initiative is a wonderful example of a project that encourages creativity and imagination among children and their teachers in Irish schools. Organised jointly by PDST Technology in Education and Dun Laoghaire Institute for Art, Design & Technology (IADT), the FÍS initative culminates each year in the annual FÍS Film Festival where 25 films are shortlisted for awards in what is essentially an "Oscars" ceremony for Irish schoolchildren.
