On Friday, Dec 10th at 1pm, a special Irish World Music Café will mark International Human Rights Day and launch a new report and action plan for migrant health research.
People are experts in their own health and need to be involved in health-related decisions, including what issues should be researched. Despite growing recognition of the importance of participatory research, migrants are often excluded from conversations related to priorities in health research. This project was co-designed by the migrant NGO Doras with academics from the University of Limerick (UL). The key aim of the project was to engage in a research prioritisation process using participatory and arts-based approaches (particularly music) to generate a research agenda for Ireland about migrant health research. The project, supported through the Irish Research Council New Foundations Award, was led by Professor Helen Phelan from the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance. It was supported by the Public and Patient Involvement Research Unit at UL, which is a designated WHO Collaborating Centre for Migrants’ Involvement in Health Research.
Please join us for some music, songs and stories at the Irish World Music Café supported by the HRI, UL and IRC.
