This edition of IN2 are themed around intercultural arts practice in Ireland. The road map for intercultural youth arts work is still under construction (as, indeed, still, is the road map for youth arts) but in our disagreements and debate lies a richness, variety, depth and insight which characterises the diversity of the arts in general.
These articles point us in the right direction and demonstrate some innovative practices, contexts and art forms. They are models and case studies which benefit the sector. Often the artist, (be they youth arts specialist, youth worker with an arts specialism, or artist with youth specialism), is the ghost in the equation, the invisible element who drew all other parts of the project together, and encouraged each young participant to shine. This contribution, along with that of the young participants, and their teachers and youth workers, must be celebrated.
