Despite arriving late (car trouble) I had a really excellent day in Omagh at the annual Rural Community Network conference which was held on the theme So What About Rural - Taking Rural Seriously. The conference explored a range of issues through site visits to community development organizations in the vicinity and workshops what is needed to be put in place to build the case for rural in terms of:
• A voice for rural communities
• Supporting rural community development practice
• Developing civic leadership in rural communities
• Contributing to a Shared Future for rural communities
• Ensuring sustainable rural communities
• A Bill of Rights for rural
Various workshop groups were then tasked with making a case for each of the above before a Dragon's Den Panel of 'experts' and 'sceptics'.
Thanks to the staff and facilitators from RCN for an excellent and informative day
