This Autumn, Eleanor McCaughey, Domnick Sorace and Noémie Cursoux from our Visitor Engagement Team completed their training in ‘Teaching and Learning through Art’ with the European Cultural Academy in Venice, in collaboration with the Erasmus Plus Programme. This six-day training programme was taught by artist and educator Alan Rogers and was co-organised with Marion Houssin and Sara Longo from the European Cultural Academy. As part of this course, our Visitor Engagement Team took part in both theoretical and practical training sessions, along with exhibition tours at the Venice Biennale. This training featured studies in contemporary art and highlighted the different perspectives to consider within a teaching context. It also featured collaborative workshops which encouraged experimentation through art-making and provided instruction how to adapt these newly acquired skills into our own practices at IMMA. IMMA is actively engaged in the Erasmus+ programme, specifically Key Action 1, which focuses on learning mobility for adult education. Through this initiative, IMMA staff have access to opportunities for job shadowing and training events across Europe. This not only allows our team to gain new skills and insights but also promotes cultural exchange and collaboration with international peers. For the 2024–2025 period, IMMA has secured funding to support these valuable experiences, ensuring our staff continue to bring back fresh perspectives and innovative practices to enhance our programmes and services. By participating in Erasmus+, we strive to stay at the forefront of modern and contemporary art, while fostering professional growth and a vibrant, engaged community. #IMMA #Erasmus+ #Museum #Dublin Léargas

Each year, millions of people gather to enjoy festivals, but when they finish a large ecological footprint is usually left behind. But, does it have to be this way? Here’s 5 ways that #EarthRising aims to be a more sustainable festival, 🍃Outdoor Advertising: Have you seen our EARTH RISING posters across Dublin’s City Centre? By teaming up with Micromedia Outdoor's 100% off-grid solar powered billboard (Ireland's first ever) as well as utilizing their digital screens in our outdoor campaign, we are using an advertising channel that boasts the lowest carbon footprint per impression than any other channel   ♻️Smart Waste: Using Nifty Bins by Native Events , waste collection is both fun and educational, achieving cleaner waste separation into 7 waste streams.    🍃Eco Fair: In order to trade at EARTH RISING, vendors are required to demonstrate their sustainability practices, such as eliminating or minimising waste in product manufacturing and commit to using compostable packaging.   🪑Circular Furniture: EARTH RISING’s Circular Builds process ensures all materials used in the creation where possible are either reusable, recyclable, or compostable. Materials are kept in flow, allowing them to minimize environmental impact while still delivering aesthetically pleasing and highly effective events & activations. For instance some of the furniture you will see at Earth Rising also featured at Electric Picnic!   ⚡Renewable Energy: We’ve all been in the sticky situation of our phone batteries running low, drop by our solar powered recharging station to get the eco-friend power you need! Earth Rising aspires to spark a transformative and thriving climate movement in Ireland. Not only do we offer an incredible programme of speakers, creative works, and engaging workshops, we are also working with Native Events to ensure event production is climate conscious. #EarthRising #IMMA #Dublin #Sustainability #Climate #Eco #Festival Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media Annie Fletcher Creative Ireland Dublin City University Research Ireland IPUT Real Estate Dublin The Mary Robinson Centre Purpose Disruptors Lisa Fitzsimons Mary Cremin Sheena Barrett Lucy Durack Melissa Ndakengerwa sophie byrne Siobhán P Mooney
