'The documentary was filmed at the 'Ceangal' Conference, which was hosted by our
RARP partners 'Celtic Neighbours' in November last year. The 'Ceangal'
(Connections) Conference was the first of three planned annual events. The aim
of these events is to combine elements of conference, cultural showcase and
gathering of grassroots workers. This conference was hosted by Ealann na
Gaeltachta and took place in Gaoibh Doire, West Donegal. It showcased examples
of some of the most exciting arts and cultural activity taking place in the
Gaelic world – both Ireland and Scotland – and in Welsh-speaking communities in
Wales.'This is part of the Trust's larger Rural Action Research Programme (RARP)

'Celtic Neighbours'
The CarnegieUK Trust has available a documentary which describes the work of 'Celtic Neighbours'. A sample of the documentary is available to view online and the entire multi-media package can be ordered from the Trust. The documentary describes a rural action research programme to address issues of isolation, service delivery and community planning in remote and peripheral areas against a cultural backdrop and in a conference gathering.

Meic Llewellyn the lead contact of 'Celtic Neighbours' got back in touch with me with news of the next annual conference:
Dear Danny, It's good to hear of your interest. We're just starting an open exchange centre about the Celtic Neighbours project under the name 'The Neighbourhood' at < www.vaw.org.uk>. Could we invite you to tell is a bit about your work and interests on that site? We also have our second annual conference coming up before long - January 16th - 18th. The last one was in Donegal, and this will be in Ceredigion, West Wales. I'll spread the news about your blog posting to others who I know will be interested too.
