Establishing and Growing a Vibrant and Sustainable Hub in Your Community

Join SECAD Partnership, the Community Enterprise Association Ireland (CEAI) and The Discovery Partnership on one of our evening webinars to learn about the practical steps you can take to establish a vibrant and sustainable co-working/remote working/community enterprise hub in your community. 

Webinars will aim to give participants an overview of the factors that need to be taken into consideration when establishing a new hub, and ways to overcome the common challenges and pitfalls that communities might face. They are open to anyone, including community organisations, businesses, networks and individuals, that would like to learn more about setting up a hub in their community.
 
Following on from the webinars, a number of strategic, geographically based 'community teams' will be selected to participate in a targeted training programme which aims to support participating communities to build local networks, undertake initial market research and develop practical action plans for the establishment of hubs in their localities.  If you would be interested in participating on a community team for your locality, please indicate below.

Please note that each webinar will be repeated, so it is only necessary to attend on one evening.
