Keystone designed a programme using the •Abbeylara principles of participatory community engagement to maximise the involvement of varying population groups in community • Drumlish based activities. Once engaged, participants were taken through a process of analysing their surroundings, illustrating proposals • Ballinalee and forming communication structures through Steering and Working Groups. The engagement of participants centred around • Keenagh the build‐up to, and running of a series of workshops designed to encourage learning through doing. • Ballinamuck • The principle outputs of the programme are a collection of Area Enhancement Plans supported by Steering and Working Groups in Lanesborough • Ballymacormack / Stonepark each community. The programme focused on enhancement work, building relationships and learning simultaneously. Capitalising • Dromard –Legga / Moyne on people resources is of equal output to the Area Enhancement Plans and is part of long‐term transformative shift towards • Carrickboy / Ballycloughan conscious participation of community in the shaping of their culture and surroundings. • Mullinalaghta Communities became involved in the programme through expressions of interest received by LCRL. The programme commenced • Clondra in June 2011 and was hosted by Keystone Landscape Architects Dominick Comerford & Michael Cunniffe. • Longford Town • Killoe, A long‐term vision of what one's community could be, became the principle goal for participants in the creation of the plan. Short • Cullyfad/Ennybegs, Killeenatruan and medium term objectives were placed in context as 'stepping stones' to achieve this vision. The purpose of this report is to communicate the successes and difficulties encountered by community's over the course of the programme. A brief description of each community's involvement is outlined later. Common needs are evaluated and summarised to provide an overview. These vary between communities and are not always highlighted as priority in every Area Enhancement Plan. The programmes performance in the delivering of outputs and teaching participatory behaviour is analysed and evaluated. We offer our recommendations for future support, highlight anticipated difficulties and inform future work using participatory process's in these communities. 3 Rural Longford Village and Area Enhancement Plan Training Programme Introduction Frame of reference The area enhancement training programme works within a wide frame of reference, covering the Where, What, Why, When and How of community enhancement. 'The improvement of one's quality of life through the shaping of one's surroundings' became the necessary core principle to develop a higher shared purpose, in order to evaluate ideas and ultimately to deliver consensus. Keystones approach to the Participatory Process The programme was centred around a community exhibition night. Local residents brought their ideas together in the community centre for debate and discussion. This was immediately followed by a workshop that focused on distilling principle issues from the many and disparate proposals. Keystone choose to work in this way in order to maximise participation and stimulate interest in those not ordinarily 'active' within the community. There was a consistent build up to the community exhibition night, which became the climax of the programme. Working groups were then given some time to learn to work together while tasked with refining principles and proposals. This became the build up to a second community night out for the launch of the plan/community vision. Our trainers guided the process through the first build up to exhibition night. Once the ideas were out on the floor and small working groups were formed, our trainers began to step back from rigidly guiding the programme and allowed the community to take ownership of the process in the build up to the launch night of the plan/community vision. 4 Rural Longford Village and Area Enhancement Plan Training Programme Training Programme The Training Programme Phase 1: Create base for idea of participation & shaping (or creating new) Steering Group Keystone's first points of contact to local communities was a list of community groups received from LCRL who expressed an interest in taking part in Area Enhancement Training. Some time was spent on both sides learning about how the programme would run in each community. The end of this phase was marked by an information evening held in each community where a presentation was made. Discussion on the main concerns of the community followed. Proposals were requested rather than merely highlighting issues for the exhibition night. A steering group was formed to communicate to the wider community about the process and to make requests for proposals/ideas. Keystone provided a programme of works outlining the sequence of phases, the goals for each phase, and the Steering Groups role. Small flyers were also provided to assist in communicating the intentions to the wider community. The process commenced in June and a general information evening at Longford Towns Rugby Club was organised by LCRL to formally launch the programme on July 19th 2011. The mark o f a successfllfully compltdleted Phase 1 was a self organiiising Steer ing Group who ttkook enough courage from the bu ild up to express passion for their community and its surroundings. In order to ensure as many communities as possible made it past this point, Keystone returned to 5 villages (Abbeylara, Ballymacormack/Stonepark, Drumlish, Mullinalaghta Longford Town) to offer further encouragement and guidance. There was some fall off in phase 1. Newtowncashel did not partake desp ite numerous approaches to various gpgroups. An Information evening was held in Abbeyshrule / Tashinney with the local tidy towns group. This was a busy time of year for them and despite a number of later approaches they did not take any further part in the programme. 5 Rural Longford Village and Area Enhancement Plan Training Programme Training Programme The Training Programme Phase 2: Collection of ideas A number of different approaches to 'the collection of ideas' were taken by communities as they began to take ownership of the process. This involved community meetings, church announcements, newsletter announcements, newspaper notices, door to door leaflet drops, and in some cases door to door request for ideas. Drop boxes were placed in some areas to aid collection. Most National schools participated with an exceptionally large participation from the schools in Keenagh. Secondary schools proved more difficult to motivate as class's are made up of children from areas not taking part in the programme. We did however get a good response from the Secondary School located in Moyne. A mar k o f a successflful outcome to Phase 2 is comm itment s hown by t he SiSteering Group to communicate t he priilinciples and passion for the betterment of their community, answer questions with clarity and then set about collecting the ideas. Carrickboy / Ballycloughan showed particular enthusiasm and called to nearly every household in the community. This is no small amount of work and helped the Steering Group learn to work together. Ballymacormack / Stonepark and Cullyfad /Ennyygbegs found it difficult at first but after further encouragement from Keystones trainers to make the final push an impressive collection of ideas was assembled. As expected it was found that central drop boxes did not work well for collecting ideas and the personal approach of the Steering Group members worked best. Drop boxes were necessary to facilitate anonymous ideas. The participatory process needs a strong Steering Group that can maintain guiding principles at the centre of the process. 6 Rural Longford Village and Area Enhancement Plan Training Programme Training Programme The Training Programme Phase 3: The exchange of ideas/ Public Exhibition and Workshop The exhibition night and following workshop marks a shift from Keystone's hosting of the process to the community itself taking ownership and hosting themselves in a self organising way. The evening was designed to condense the process that takes place over the ent ire programme into one nihight. The skills ldlearned are thfherefore repeated an d lilearning happens b est thhhrough ddioing. The evening focuses on work developing a

  • County Longford Tourism Statement of Strategy and Work Programme
    2017- 2022 County Longford Tourism Statement of Strategy and Work Programme 1 County Longford Tourism Statement of Strategy and Work Programme 2017-2022 FOREWORD BY CATHAOIRLEACH AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE The County Tourism Strategy is prepared by Longford County Council working in partnership with County Longford Tourism Committee, the representative body of all tourism interests within County Longford. This Strategy sets out the overall Vision for tourism in County Longford over the next 5 years. To place Longford Tourism into context, Fáilte Ireland figures from 2013 show that while 772,000 tourists visited the Midlands Region in 2013 only 3% (22,000) visited County Longford. Therefore, the aim of this Strategy is to grow that percentage share by developing a thriving tourism sector in a planned, co-ordinated and cohesive manner as set out in this Strategy. It includes an ambitious programme of work to be undertaken within the County over that period in order to build local products and services that appeal to the marketplace. Centrally it also recognises the collective contributory role the County has to play in facilitating and supporting planned regional tourism development and complementing national tourism initiatives such as Ireland’s Ancient East. A review of the programme of work outlined and completed under previous strategies undertaken from 2010 to 2016, combined with an analysis of the current strength of the tourism sector within the County helped us to prioritise actions going forward. Since 2010, the County Longford Tourism Committee has refocused attention and energy on the potential for the tourism sector to be the key economic driver for County Longford.
