Spring Equinox Tallaght Hill

Welcome

Welcome to Community Talking.

This blog was created after a group of local people living in South Dublin attended a Café style forum in Tallaght Priory.

Sixteen people attended the first of the series of four meetings on 14th March. The meetings were designed to give people an opportunity to come together and tap into their collective knowledge and wisdom.

They were asked to dream the kind of community they would like to live in.

The group came up with many ideas including the following five suggestions:

1. Talk and communicate more with each other.

2. Create a virtual online community linked to the real life of the community. A community blog was suggested. This is it!

3. Create a place in which elders in the community could pass on skills and knowledge to young people

4. Create a register of local skills and knowledge.

5. Create a ‘space’ for people to meet and chat in local areas. The dynamics and facilitation for coming together will be more important than the physical space and the possiblity of replication of this 'space' in various venues in communities in the area.
