Abstract

Our programme for the day of celebrating motherhood in many different forms offered a rich diversity and amazing opportunity to take part in discussions and activities of our diverse experiences. We heard perspectives from Sociology, Psychology and History. The inclusion of visual representation was represented by the work of two local artists who took part in the day.
There were many contributions coming forward but we decided on a structure to the day that fell into two halves. In the morning we opened with a general facilitated discussion of all our experiences as mothers including experiences of women who are not mothers.
Our aim was to share experiences and hear each other’s perspectives. Dr Sheila Quaid
