Life at the End-of-life Festival

Death is part of life, yet we avoid talking about it because it is sad and complex, thinking this spares us suffering. We believe that talking about death is talking about life; it is avoiding suffering and also taking care of ourselves.

The Festival of Life at the End of Life offers cultural activities to destigmatise and break the taboo of talking about death. It aims to generate a public debate around ethical, social, cultural and sector-related issues to reflect on how we treat death as a society and approach the End of Life.

It started in May 2024 in Barcelona,
