The second last session of our Autumn Training calendar 2023 is dedicated to SAFE TO CREATE – the Dignity at Work programme with Niamh O’ Donnell – Director of the Irish Theatre Institute, and Isabela Mello – Artist in Residence + Educator at Galway Community Circus.

Safe to Create aims to impact change in the culture and practices of the arts and creative sectors in Ireland and to provide safer working conditions for all workers. The programme is managed by the Irish Theatre Institute on behalf of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media and in partnership with the Arts Council, Screen Ireland and Minding Creative Minds.

ISACS adopted the Safe to Create programme, and in this training session, we are looking to support our members and provide them with resources to encourage safe and respectful working conditions for those working in the arts and creative sectors, where mutual respect will be the base to build on a safe to create environment.

This Zoom session will run on December 5, from 11 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

The training is free and is exclusively for ISACS members.
