An open discussion on making NI a creative place to live and work

Imagine a dinner party where the only item on the menu is conversation. Join Dr Ali FitzGibbon of Queen’s University Belfast (School of Arts, English & Languages) in a special discussion event around a big Long Table.

The success of the Fleadh Cheoil and many other festivals, the award-winning film and digital sectors, thriving literary scene, all would suggest Northern Ireland is thriving culturally. But is it for the people who work in the creative & cultural sector? And does everyone living here get to have a creative life? This is the topic of conversation for the Long Table and anyone can step up to the table and take a seat.

The Long Table is an accessible approach developed by Lois Weaver to have open conversations about life’s challenges.

This event is run as part of the annual UK ESRC Festival of Social Sciences
