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).<\/p>\n

Working 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.<\/p>\n

The 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.<\/p>\n

The launch will include information sessions, a keynote address and short remarks from invited speakers, followed by networking over refreshments.<\/p>\n

Please note: The agenda is an outline and may be subject to change. Speaker and contributor details may not be published in advance.<\/p>\n
