Global Ireland 2025 Conference Takes Place In Dublin
Culture Ireland's Global Ireland 2025 Conference is taking place at Dublin Castle today, 24 January, where stakeholders will discuss the country's global reputation for creativity.
More than 250 key stakeholders in the arts world will debate how Ireland can strengthen and advance its creative sector at the day-long conference.
Global Ireland 2025 highlights the importance of bringing Ireland's culture and heritage to the wider world and sets out a number of actions to be taken under the initiative.
Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Josepha Madigan TD officially opened the conference.
He said: "This conference offers us all a really important opportunity to take a day to talk, develop ideas and look at better ways of promoting our arts and culture worldwide. Global Ireland 2025 brings an unprecedented emphasis on the importance of Ireland's arts and culture in the global arena. The strength of Ireland's culture and creativity is recognised as a unique power we have to connect with others. Our culture offers us a way of expressing who we are, of connecting with our diaspora, and of opening doors for Ireland globally. Global Ireland is a plan which both recognises those strengths and provides us with an ambitious route map to realise their full potential."
Two of Ireland's recently appointed Cultural Ambassadors, musician Martin Hayes and architect Yvonne Farrell are among the sixteen panelists. It is being moderated by writer and broadcaster John Kelly.
The outcomes of the conference will feed into future strategy on the Government's promotion of Irish arts worldwide.
