The NRN team at NUI Galway, Dr Shane Conway and Dr Maura Farrell, ran a ‘LEADER Programme Promotion Week’ on the NRN's social media channels from the 29th of June to the 5th of July 2020. This pioneering initiative provided rural communities and entrepreneurs with an in-depth insight into the LEADER Programme 2014-2020, and also helped future applicants conceptualise their ideas and see what is possible through LEADER’s unique ‘bottom up’ community-led approach to rural development, particularly as they prepare to rebuild, redevelop and re-energize as part of Ireland’s Covid-19 crisis recovery response.
