There's plenty of conferences and shows aimed at parents and
mums-to-be, but where are the big events aimed at children?
Mum entrepreneur and friend of Mama Dynamite, Caroline Dooley
has set up an events business hoping to change all that.
Her first show claims to be Ireland’s first show dedicated
to kids and is called the JUST 4 KIDS SHOW.
It’s coming to the RDS in Dublin at the end of May, Saturday, 25th May
and Sunday, 26th May.
It will feature a huge free Fun Zone led by Let’s Go Camps,
a Workshop Zone, a Technology and Science Zone, a Library Zone, a Seminar Zone
and a host of exhibition stands to browse through.
The theme is to “be inspired, be informed and be involved” and
it promises to be a fun and educational day out for all the family.
Experts booked to speak at the event include: Sheila
O’Malley from Practical Parenting, Andrew Jackson the ISPCC’s anti-bullying
campaign coordinator, Avril Ronan of Trend Micro on Internet safety, Angela C.
O’Connor on Special Needs, Paul Hussey - Audiologist, Aidan Grace on Paediatric
First Aid and more to come. These will
all take place in the Seminar Zone, interspersed by some great live
entertainment and performances. Sessions will run from 10:30am – 8pm on Sat
25th and from 10:30am to 6pm on Sun 26th May.
The Seminar and Workshop Zone schedules will be posted on
the show’s website in advance of the event and also at the venue, so visitors
can plan their day. No advance booking is required. You can just turn up. It costs €10 per adult
