About this Death Cafe
Increasingly popular in cities around the world, the social movement Death Cafe brings people together to have open discussions about life and death. This workshop provides the chance to have hands on experience of a Death Cafe during a conference program on the many realities of ageing. There are few opportunities for those who are ageing, or the professionals who serve them to talk freely about death and mortality. Many crave to have this discussion. This workshop acknowledges death as a reality associated with ageing. It will enable participants to join in dialogue with fellow delegates, drawing on personal experience. Together we will bring out the appreciation, seriousness and lightness that are hallmarks of a Death Cafe.
