Community is the Centre of Society
|
Key note speaker and one of Irelands leading entrepreneurs, Sean Gallagher of Dragons Den and founder of Smart Homes, gave a presentation on how the core values of community and community development are vitally important in the recovery of local economies and in local self confidence. That this renewed self confidence will act as a driver to a new national confidence. The key message in Seans presentation was that communities need to focus on the micro economy, achievable initiatives at a local level that can empower communities and lead by example in responding to a national crisis.
