‘In from the edge’

Commencing immediately after our Annual General Meeting, the conference is the key note event being held by RCN as part of the Rural Enabler Programme’s Rural Respect Week.  In from the Edge will explore three key areas which impact on communities living in the Border Regions on Northern Ireland and the six Border Counties of Ireland. Delegates will hear about the challenges of rural peripherality in the border region with examples of innovation community solutions from organisations based on both sides of the border.  The recent controversy surrounding the erection and in some areas dismantling of 'Welcome to Northern Ireland' road signs is a timely reminder of the continuing sensitivities of the border. But for many in these border regions, the issue of signage is something of a distraction to how they have to manage their everyday lives, access services and support and their continued management of community/good relations in an effort to build rural communities that are cohesive, shared and integrated.  To register, contact Teresa on 028 8676 6670 or email [email protected]  Please note transport may be available from each County depending on demand, please email [email protected] or telephone the office if you are interested of availing of this transport.
