The first PRAXIS ‘Communiversity Knowledge Exchange Forum’ will take place on Monday 23rd April. This event is a collaborative project involving the University, community-based groups/ activists and experts on alternative co-operative economic models. The core groups involved in supporting this Forum include Equality Studies Centre, UCD; PRAXIS; Meitheal Mid West; Trademark Belfast and Kilbarrack CDP.
This event aims to promote co-operatives and social/ community enterprise as an alternative economic development model for Ireland.
In addition, the economic crisis and austerity measures in Ireland are hitting poorer communities more than any other group and there is a need to develop alternative ways of creating employment in these communities.
This day long seminar will be attended by individuals and groups from across the community, voluntary and statutory fields. It is intended that the event will provide a space for critical discussion about alternative economic organising as well as building a network and demand for co-operatives and social and community enterprises across Ireland.
There is a request for a €10 fee for the Forum. Those groups or individuals with greater resources are free to donate more towards covering the costs of the Forum. Click Here to pay for your Forum ticket.
