On behalf of Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin TD, you are invited to join online the next Shared Island Dialogue on Arts and Culture on a Shared Island, Thursday 15 September from 11:00am - 1:40pm.
This event is part of the Government’s Shared Island initiative that was launched by the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin TD, to work with all communities and traditions on the island to build consensus around a shared future underpinned by the Good Friday Agreement.
The programme for this event includes:
Two interactive panel discussions moderated by broadcaster Mr Seán Rocks.
The first is on 'Arts & Culture on a Shared Island - challenges & opportunities'. This participatory discussion is to explore North/South and East/West perspectives, opportunities and challenges in supporting and promoting artists and arts organisations; hear artists and arts organisations’ views on operating on an all-island basis and on deeping cultural interaction exchange on the island of Ireland. Asking - what does a shared island mean for the arts and culture sector?
The second panel is on Building Cultural and Creative Communities. This will explore good practice and learnings in building cultural and creative communities on the island of Ireland; fostering community and voluntary sector interactions, North/South and East/West? How can cultural and creative communities contribute to enhanced understanding of different communities and traditions on the island? Looking to the future - what are the opportunities for deepening creative and cultural communities on the island?

As part of the Government’s Shared Island Initiative, the Department of the Taoiseach requested the National Economic and Social Council (NESC) to undertake research and to produce a comprehensive report on the Shared Island, to inform the development of the Shared Island initiative as a whole of Government priority. Extensive consultation and research informed this report.
The Council’s Shared Island: Shared Opportunity report launched on 12 April is a culmination of work over 2021 / 2022, where NESC published two Council Reports, six Secretariat Papers and one Background Paper on the Shared Island.
