CARE, HEALTH and HOUSING collaborative workshop

    Tuesday, October 18, 2022 - 14:00 to 18:30
    Learning Studio: The Digital Hub, Digital Depot, Roe Lane (off Thomas Street) Dublin 8, D08 TCV4, Ireland

    This two day interdisciplinary and collaborative workshop will bring together people across academia, health and housing sectors to develop joint solutions to identify common ground and alleviate residents’ pressure on inadequate housing conditions. We intend to further develop an open access publication on emerging issues by exploring the experiences of social housing residents and community stakeholders in Dublin 8.

    THE WORKSHOP AIMS TO:

    ▪ Raise awareness on the right to adequate housing that must be “habitable”.
    ▪ Promote research collaboration between academia and local/national stakeholders to overcome the lack of information on housing quality at the community level to develop effective housing and health policies.
    ▪ Enhance residents’ empowerment in vulnerable communities to address violations of rights to adequate housing.
    ▪ Identify solutions needed across the system to transform health, community care and housing.
