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

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

We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of artist and former @CreateIreland Director Dr. Ailbhe Murphy. Deeply passionate about artists and communities working together, she made lasting contributions to the arts and will be sadly missed.

Really enjoyed closing out the year with this project. Great working with @CallanWUnion and @pobal to deliver training to local authorities across the country.
Great to work with @AmicitiaProject to deliver training on creative tools for inclusive community engagement in local planning and decision-making. @pobal #CommunityinclusionGuide is a fantastic resource.

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 @SOA_ie

What a brilliant, practical, creative placemaking toolkit created by our @TheStovies collaborator @KWheelArt. Scottish inspiration for community-led, place-based creativity and collaboration!
