Irish Environmental Network (IEN), in partnership with Northern Ireland Environmental Link (NIEL), is delighted to invite you to attend the official launch of our PEACEPLUS funded €772,593 CORE Project – Cross-border Opportunities for a Resilient Environment. The aim of CORE is to build capacity among the environmental NGOs on both sides of the border, and create opportunities for collaboration and partnership.
We warmly invite you all to celebrate the project launch with us on Friday the 11th of September at 10.30, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Carlingford, Co. Louth. After lunch, a co-creation workshop for environmental NGOs will be offered at Carlingford Heritage Centre. This workshop will help us get to know each other, and we will begin the work of building a shared vision for all-island environmental governance and cooperation.
10.30am – 12.30pm Project Launch, Four Seasons Hotel, Carlingford
The CORE project will help environmental groups and NGOs working on the island of Ireland rise to meet shared and interconnected challenges, through training and capacity building. Ministerial Department Representatives from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, along with the CEOs of the SEUPB, IEN and NIEL will be speaking. Lunch will be provided. Register to attend here.
1:00am – 4:00pm Co-creation workshop, Carlingford Heritage Centre
In this workshop, we’ll work with a special guest and expert in literary futures thinking to build a vision for cross-border cooperation and environmental governance on the island of Ireland. This invigorating session will bring together NGOs from the environmental sector both North and South, giving lots of the opportunities over the course of the day to make and refresh connections with allied organisations. Register to attend here.
The CORE project is supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).
