Ceiliúradh 2009: Creating Resilient Rural Communities

Location

How can our communities plan for the future? How can we benefit from local food? What about building local economies? These are just some of the topics that will be the focus of an upcoming 2 day conference at Tipperary Institute. This years’ Ceiliúradh is a time when thinkers, doers and communities will gather together to explore new ideas about how we want to live and if we want to move towards a healthy and positive future. Tipperary Institute is delighted to welcome a diverse range of national and international guests such as Marian Harkin MEP, Rob Hopkins (Transition Town Movement), Chris Piennar from Connected Economies NEF and many others.

Ceiliúradh is open to anyone interested in exploring the challenge faced by communities in the current economic environment and identifying solutions that will work.

The cost of the conference is 60 euros for the 2 days. For any enquiries please contact Edel O Grady at 0504 28117 or eogrady@tippinst.ie
