Declaration Festival

Declaration is a brand new festival of ideas that will explore health and human rights over four days and thirty events – each one a creative response to a different article in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The programme will consist of a mixture of conversations, provocations, performances and film screenings, and will feature leading writers, performers, campaigners and thinkers from across Scotland and beyond, from novelist Louise Welsh to poet Jenny Lindsay and Amal Azzudin of the Glasgow Girls. Declaration is the result of a unique partnership between NHS Health Scotland, the Mental Health Foundation, the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland, and the University of Strathclyde.
