Eurochild International Youth and Child Arts (founded 1995) is one of the most important projects operated by Tigh Filí Cultural Centre (Cork City, Ireland). The annual international arts competition for child and youth artists and poets receives entries from thousands of young people and children from all over Europe, the best of which are selected for publication in the multilingual mother-tongue Eurochild Anthology of Artwork and Poetry – by kids, for kids.

“devoid of ideology, and full of hope and wonderment at what is possible in the modern world”

- Frances Fitzgerald, Minister for Children

”

Eurochild encourages young people to create their own symbolisms: to read, write, speak and act according to their own perceptions and experiences, not based on the preconceived expectations and representations of others.

Art can encourage the formation of a more empathetic society by revealing the common struggle

for form, beauty and meaning across boundaries of age, religion, background or ignorance.

Welcome to Eurochild – celebrating the original work of young creators throughout the world!
