The future of care is in our neighbourhoods.
The only sustainable way to respect rights is through flourishing and inclusive communities.
This requires a 180 degree shift in our thinking, but you can sense that there is a will for change. @citizen_network

[The Douglas Hyde @DHG_Dublin]

We support an increase in @artscouncil_ie funding to €160m in #Budget2025. At a time of record demand, escalating costs for artists & arts organisations, and a record shortfall in funding requests met, increased investment is needed to support the sector https://t.co/3R7bfBO2v0

Our final plenary of the day is a passionate discussion on the housing crisis in Ireland.

Are Ireland's tax laws to blame for the housing crisis?

Great piece on the #ReimaginingElderhood project and film in this month’s @RIAIOnline about co-creation between architects and end users in neighbour redesign. Particularly loved the quote about vibrancy in older age and emphasis on inter generational living

As mid-winter arrives and the year closes, we want to reflect on our activities in 2023 and thank all the communities, creatives, collaborators, partners, and funders with whom we’ve worked. Have a restful and peaceful festive break.
