Applications are being considered now by Eden Project Communities NI Network developer Niamh Scullion for these opportunities which are to be held at the award winning Eden Project in Cornwall during September and November 2019.

Those attending can look forward to three days of inspiring talks, workshops, engagement activities and story sharing with around 60 other community activists and organisers.

NI manager Grainne Mccloskey said: “Eden Project Communities camps provide opportunities to link in with a network of more than 1000 other people across the UK to share ideas, inspiration, and experience, and to re-energize your community project and yourself. Living rurally in the Glens of Antrim and meeting people across the county engaging in The Big Lunch annual day for neighbours has already afforded me some knowledge of the richness of the local communities and landscape and additional difficulties faced by rural communities whose populations migrate for work. So I believe County Antrim volunteers should not be shy about applying. We have as much to share with others as they have to gain from you taking part. I’m looking forward to meeting this years candidates and see what they go on to achieve.”
