Across SETU campuses in Carlow, Waterford and Wexford

April 2025 will see the return of SETU’s Sustainability in the Arts Festival, with this year’s theme being ‘Land, People, Culture’. 

This third edition of the festival promises to be bigger and better than ever, with events spread across the Wexford, Waterford and Carlow campuses over the week. 

SETU are thrilled to have recently won the inaugural SATLE Impact Award in the Education for Sustainable Development category. This funding will enables the festival to continue to grow and create further impact in the University and wider community. 

The festival features a range of multi-disciplinary collaborations from undergraduate and postgraduate students from the fields of Music, Languages, English, Graphic Art, Visual Art, Culinary Arts, Hospitality, and Internationalisation. The collaborations include multi-media works, musical performances, art exhibitions, research presentations, and cooking demonstrations, the purpose of which is to embed sustainability into the culture of the university.

We will be joined by several national and international partners this year, as well as local secondary schools and members of the wider community through our outreach programme. This is all made possible thanks to N-TUTORR and SATLE funding. 

Save the dates and we will be releasing the full event schedule here soon. We look forward to welcoming you all in April.
