Prof Cert in Creative Hospitality

The Creative Hospitality programme invites participants to maximise the potential for authentic and meaningful shared experience in their work by adopting the theories of hospitality. The programme explores the process of welcoming others into our practice by carefully navigating the role of the host, the significance of guests, risk-taking, reciprocity, self-preservation, placemaking and care. The intersection between creativity and hospitality offers a wealth of rich, mutually beneficial learning opportunities. In this overlapping space we can pool from the inspiring origins, philosophy and rituals of hospitality while applying artistic methodologies to develop ideas.

The programme is delivered under the Creative Futures Academy, a dynamic partnership between NCAD, UCD and IADT.

Exploring this material furnishes a comprehensive knowledge base for those interested in cultivating opportunities for interaction and shared connections in their professional practice.

The teaching methodology has been designed with a celebratory emphasis on creative practice, catering to artists, designers, cultural practitioners or indeed those who wish to explore new techniques and approaches to develop ideas.

This programme provides professional development opportunities to individuals and organisations who wish to gain insight into the art of welcoming strangers.

The Creative Hospitality programme is suited to artists, designers, chefs, food entrepreneurs, architects, public-facing organisations, healthcare practitioners, event managers, those involved in the tourism industry, care workers, hoteliers and more.
