Networking Day 2023

We are delighted to announce that booking is now open for our National Networking Day 2023: Collaborating on Climate Justice, hosted on 19 October at Project Arts Centre in Dublin.

The event will feature guest speakers including the Climate Justice team from TASC, the think tank for action on social change, and experienced environmental campaigner and journalist, John Gibbons. TASC will draw on their recent experience working at grassroots level through their People’s Transition pilot projects around the country, while John will explore the complicated issues around media narratives, disinformation and storytelling.  

Attendees will also have the chance to hear from a group of artists who have taken a range of approaches to engaging with the many nuances of climate justice through their practice. These presentations, and a workshop facilitated by TASC, will aim to stimulate discussion amongst those present and provide a basis for developing future work in this area. 

After the close of the main event, we invite attendees to join us for a reception to celebrate the milestone achievement of Create’s 40th year, as well as the 21st anniversary of Create’s management of the Artist in the Community Scheme.
