    CARLOW OFFERS MENTORING TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITY GARDEN PROJECTS

    The city of Carlow has introduced a great initiative: mentoring to support the development of community gardens across the County. Ms Dee Sewell from Greenside Up will collaborate in the RU:RBAN project providing mentoring service based on two levels: firstly individuals who are involved in community gardens at all levels will have a one-to-one session to discuss concerns, opportunities, challenges and obstacles in their involvement in development of their community garden; these sessions will then be complemented by a group report for their community garden which will guide and advise on opportunities for growth.

  • #SOFIA4CSR - Foresting is investing for a better city

    Sofia, CITIES4CSR project partner, is the Capital of Bulgaria and the largest political, administrative, cultural and educational centre in the country. Featuring strong agglomeration economics and innovative business development, the City of Sofia’s economy accounts for over 42 % of national GDP and is a home of more than 1.3 million inhabitants, which is almost 20% of total population of Bulgaria. Like most large cities, Sofia also faces challenges related to the rapid development of the city and the need for this to happen sustainably. The sustainable development of the city is an important, but also a large-scale task for local authorities and that is why the involvement of all stakeholders is key to success.
