UCD School of Education and School of Philosophy, in collaboration with NCAD Bureau+, invites short written submissions on the theme of belonging from all members of the UCD/NCAD community.

We invite submissions in any written form, from short stories to poetry to essays. Autobiographical reflections and interviews are all welcome. Tell us [or describe?] when, how, or where you had a sense of belonging.

Selected submissions will be paired with students from NCAD's Bureau+, who will develop creative (design, illustration and/or motion picture) responses inspired by the writer's words. This will all culminate in an in-person art exhibition and seminar in Spring 2023.

The maximum word count for submissions is 1,200.
