CONTACT POINT is a series of online conversations for theatre/multidisciplinary artists and arts workers. You are invited to join the conversation where you will connect with others and challenge stereotypes together. CONTACT POINT is facilitated by Tatiana Santos (Research and Development Officer at Mother Tongues and Socially Engaged Artist working collaboratively with young people at Tallaght Community Arts).

Each session features an exciting guest speaker who talks about their experience of a stereotype. You will have an opportunity to feedback through group discussions, questions, and a final group sharing.
