Next Edition!
Sustainable development on offshore islands: Inishbofin and Inishturk
Our next edition – due out in January – will focus on Consultation and Participation, with a special focus on Regeneration. We’re looking for examples of good practise, innovative approaches and how communities engage in real consultation and how they encourage participation by the most marginalised in society. We’ll also examine how communities cope when on the receiving end of poor consultation. Give us a ring, email or drop a line.
