Overview

This Linkage Group provides a space for Cork City PPN Members to discuss and develop policy and position papers in relation to the interrelated topics of Arts, Community, Heritage and Sport, including International Relations and Tourism. This Linkage Group covers two Strategic Policy Committees (SPCs) at Cork City Council level. This Linkage Group meets 4 times a year, but you may have opportunities to work in smaller groups and share your work with the wider Linkage Group and Plenary itself.

There is a sample of themes that the related SPCs cover. You do not need to be knowledgeable in all these areas to participate. You can focus on areas that interest you or use the Linkage Group to grow in knowledge and develop your capacity in this area.

If you would like to attend the next Linkage Group, please fill in the form at the end of the page.
