Dead Curious CIC: creative death education workshops in the West Midlands
Dead Curious CIC is a Community Interest Company based in Birmingham United Kingdom. We create and deliver innovative workshops focused on death education, using creative and age-appropriate methods to explore death, dying, loss, and grief.
Empowering conversations through creativity
At Dead Curious, we believe in fostering open and honest conversations about life's inevitable journey. Our unique approach uses art, podcasting, and community events to demystify death, support those experiencing loss, and educate all ages in a sensitive and engaging way.
Our creative approaches to death education
We offer a range of workshops and projects designed for various audiences, from schools to community groups.
School podcast workshops
Our successful school projects, like 'Dead Curious,' empower children to create their own podcast episodes, discussing death, dying, loss, and grief in an age-appropriate format.
Drinks and death events
We facilitate relaxed and informal 'drinks and death' events, providing a comfortable space for individuals to gather, share experiences, and discuss death and loss over drinks and music.
Heritage projects on grief and loss
We are actively developing heritage projects that delve into historical perspectives of grief, death, and loss, exploring how communities have commemorated and coped throughout time.
Collaborative projects and partnerships
We work with organisations like Primrose Hospice, recording individuals with terminal illnesses,and the palliative care staff. We have been involved in initiatives such as 'You Only Die Once . Brum YODO,' expanding our reach and impact.
