SUMMARY:The BRIDGE Project Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the official launch of BRIDGE – Building Resilient Institutions for Development\, Governance & Engagement – a PEACEPLUS-funded\, three-year cross-border initiative led by East Border Region (EBR)\, in partnership with the Irish Central Border Area Network (ICBAN). \nWorking with 12 local authorities across Northern Ireland and Ireland\, BRIDGE will support 775 locally elected members and local government officials to strengthen governance\, leadership and institutional capacity across the border region. \nThe project will focus on building practical skills\, increasing collaboration and supporting stronger relationships between councils and cross-border organisations\, helping to create a more resilient and sustainable border region. \nThe launch will include information sessions\, a keynote address and short remarks from invited speakers\, followed by networking over refreshments. \nPlease note: The agenda is an outline and may be subject to change. Speaker and contributor details may not be published in advance. \nTickets: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/the-bridge-project-launch-tickets-1997137562210 \nThis project is supported by PEACEPLUS\, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).

SUMMARY:Shaping the Cross-Border Consensus Decision-Making Tool
DESCRIPTION:This training is delivered as part of the BRIDGE project and is open to staff and elected members from East Border Region and Irish Central Border Area Network member councils. If you’re unsure whether your organisation is eligible\, please check our website for further information.\nWhat will I learn? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis half-day workshop plays back the key findings from Phase 1 of BRIDGE’s diagnostic work on cross-border decision-making. It covers recurring patterns such as unclear authority\, poor communication between partners\, and decisions whose rationale is never explained. Participants will also see the consensus-based tool built in response to these findings. \nHow will it be delivered?\nParticipants test the emerging consensus tool against real scenarios drawn from the diagnostic interviews. These include a shared border road maintained by two authorities\, aligning cross-border bin collection\, a planning decision spilling into a neighbouring council area\, and a tight funding deadline. Officials and elected members work through these scenarios in separate breakout groups\, then come together for a joint plenary and a live consensus test\, scored against the tool’s own scale. \nWhat will I get out of it?\nBy the end of the session\, participants will have directly shaped the Consensus-Based Decision-Making Framework. They’ll have tested it against scenarios relevant to their own work\, and had a real say in a tool built specifically for councils navigating cross-border and partnership decisions. \nGet Involved\nInvitations for this session are issued through the Boards and Members Forum for elected members\, and through council contacts for officials. If your council is taking part in BRIDGE and you have questions about attending\, please contact East Border Region.
