For 2024, the PPN Summer School has excitingly expanded to include all of the Dublin-based Public Participation Networks; Dublin City, Fingal, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown and South Dublin!
All workshops are free of charge, taking place from May 27th until May 30th. In-person morning workshops will take place from 10am until 12pm on DCU’s Glasnevin campus, followed by lunch, while evening sessions will take place from 7pm until 8.30pm online via Zoom.
These workshops were chosen in collaboration with the PPN coordinators in an effort to strengthen PPN members to affect and advocate for positive change in their communities. This year’s Summer School will also offer all Dublin-based PPNs a chance to network and learn from each other. On Thursday, 30 May, there will be a PPN Networking Lunch so members can meet and socialise informally; including free lunch and entertainment. We would love to see as many members there as possible!
