We are thrilled to welcome Little Amal, the 12 foot puppet of a little girl on a BIG journey.

Tired, alone and overwhelmed in Dublin City, Amal stops for a little solace. Her attention is caught by bird-like creatures at the park gates. Entering the park to explore, she follows these sprites and suddenly finds herself immersed in stories about Irish myth, swans and ravens from multi-award winning dance company Junk Ensemble.

Little Amal is the 12 foot puppet of a 10 year old Syrian refugee child at the heart of The Walk. She has become a global symbol of human rights, especially those of refugees. Since July 2021, Amal has travelled to 160 towns and cities in 16 countries. She has been welcomed by two million people on the streets and by tens of millions online. In each community that she visits, thousands of artists and civil society and faith leaders have created 440 unique events for her. Her journeys are moments of art and hope that draw attention to the enormous numbers of children fleeing war, violence and persecution, each with their own story. Her urgent message to the world is “Don’t forget about us”.
