Just before our festival preparations ramp up over the summer, we take a moment to look back on all we did last year, and all those who helped make it possible. 2025 was a particularly busy year for Baboró as we delivered several creative projects in schools and communities throughout Galway, in addition to our annual international festival. These projects allowed us to reach more children and deepen our engagement with them, their parents and community.

She is the Artistic Director of Rosán Sensory Adventures, a collective of freelance artists trained by Phillida in inclusive theatre. She is passionate about giving children and young people with intellectual disabilities and Autism a voice in the creative process and agency in expressing themselves in the creative arts.

The Baboró Children's Panel is a platform for young people in Galway city and county to feel welcome, heard, represented and supported in their creativity. The panel meets once a month to take part in fun creative workshops. 

Children starting 4th class in September 2026 are invited to apply to be part of the 2026/2027 panel.
