Happenings

Happenings Founded in 2009, Happenings run low impact, informal, socially and environmentally responsible events in public spaces around Dublin city and nationwide.

Our belief is that the pub (which is great craic) should not be the only option. Events include open air cinema, open air yoga, gigs, festivals, conferences and everything in between. For Happenings larger out door screenings in Merrion Square for example, we use solar and battery technology to power all our needs. We must limit carbon emissions and we can. Follow us on Twitter:

Neuroconvergence is going nationwide

We’re thrilled to announce that Happenings CLG and Neuroconvergence have been successful in our application to Rethink Ireland’s Disability Participation and Awareness Fund 4.0.

This support will allow us to build on everything we have learned over the past two years and take the next phase of Neuroconvergence nationwide, working with universities, partner organisations, artists, advocates and the neurodivergent community across Ireland.

It’s really exciting next chapter for Neuroconvergence as we continue building community, strengthening connections and creating space for a stronger collective voice.

Lots more to come on where we’re going and what we’ll be creating together! 😁
