Future Communities

Kilcranny House is running an exciting multi-faceted project called Future Communities, supported by the International Fund for Ireland Community Bridges Programme.

The Future Communities project looks to our shared future, inspiring others to work for peace and prosperity in their communities, schools and workplaces. The approach is one of engaging the whole person and through them reaching into the whole community.We work intensively with local communities, mapping out needs and through training and building skills work with them to realise the vision they have for their shared community in the future. This can involve environmental improvements, inter-cultural understanding, confidence building, peace-building, and youth intervention work, active citizenship programmes and help in planning community events.

Our community quilt projects have been a great success at encouraging local women to engage with diversity and share their perspectives with others - you can see photos from the projects on flickr. Click here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kilcrannyhouse/sets/72157626772997257/
