In 2020, with the support of Creative Ireland, Irish Hospice Foundation started an Arts and Cultural Engagement programme. Since then, we have explored and collaborated with numerous artists, cultural, health, community, state agencies, and educational organisations on ways to reduce the impact of bereavement on Irish people, using a diverse range of creative practices.
We have also been developing a better understanding of what type of educational programming is going to be of most value, and to whom, for people looking to develop their practice in applying arts and creativity to support others experiencing loss, death, dying and grief.
