Full Description:: Most people, including medical students, are uncomfortable thinking about death and dying. Death Café is a worldwide movement that uses the Philosophy Café approach to co-create a safe space to talk about death and dying. For several years UQ Mind has worked with Sarah Winch to introduce Death Café (and its Queensland form 'Wine and Die') to encourage students to think and talk about death and gain experience in the café methodology. This Death Café invites participants from the broader Teaching and Learning Community to join us for death talk while experiencing café style teaching and learning.
