Deathwise Posters: From Dying2Learn to Dying to Know Day

CareSearch has just hosted its first MOOC, or massive open online course.

MOOCs are short web-based courses. Our MOOC was called Dying2Learn and

ran in June-July 2016. The purpose of the Dying2Learn MOOC was to build

community awareness and foster social discussion about death and dying in

Australia.

As one of the MOOC activities, participants were asked to create a poster to be

shared with the community as part of Dying to Know Day 2016. The message

for the poster needed to be their statement about what being Deathwise is.

In this slideshow we show you some of the many posters that were produced.

They outline messages for individuals, communities and systems about the

importance of being Deathwise.
