Greening Our Communities is a half-day conference that will take place during this year’s Convergence Festival. It will explore what makes up a green community and will be held at Cultivate @ The Greenhouse, 17 St Andrew Street, Dublin 2 from 1.30-5pm on Thursday 27th May.
What do you think are the hallmarks of a Green Community? If a community was awarded a green flag, what should it have achieved?
These are the questions being asked by the new Green Communities Network set up by the DoE, EPA and An Taisce.
This free half-day conference aims to bring together the key players involved in developing communities and green initiatives, to find out people’s opinions on what constitutes a green community.
This conference provides an opportunity to get involved in the initial development of ideas, have your voice heard and ultimately bring greater support to your community initiatives.
Anyone wishing to attend please email [email protected].
This conference is part of the Convergence Festival, Cultivate’s annual sustainable living festival.
Other events this year include a discussion on ‘The Green New Deal from Below’ 8 – 9.30pm Thurs 27 May, a conference on ‘Transition’ 11am – 6.30pm Sat 29 May and a tour of Cloughjordan Eco Village 10am – 7pm Sun 30 May.
