The Death Literacies Symposium is organised by the International Death Literacies Network. The network aims to unite individuals working on Death and End of Life literacy, learn from ongoing projects, inspire each other and collaborate in projects together.
The first symposium was held in June 2024 at University College London in the UK, followed by a second symposium in March 2025 in Brussels. The latter event drew 42 international researchers from six countries working on and around the topic of Death Literacy, Grief Literacy and End-of-Life Health Literacy.
Inspired by each other and the energy in the room, it was decided to keep this group going and plans were soon made for a third event.
