The City Council’s performance is recorded in monthly Chief Executive Reports and in the Annual Report. The plan is informed by research and widespread consultations since mid-2019. As a result of this consultation and engagement we have identified six new high-level goals and strategic objectives and updated our values, mission, vision statements.

Community Content __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Togher Open Evening Togher and Ballyphehane Youth and Community Network; as part of its ongoing strategic planning and development process,hosted a Togher Open Evening in the National Schools on February 25 th . It had been determined by the network; particularly partners representing the Gardaí and the Garda Youth Diversion Project, that a key focus group for intervention and engagement in the community were 5 th and 6 th class pupils. Over 20 organisations and clubs who offer services and activities to children, young people and families, showcased their work throughout the evening, and 5 th and 6 th class pupils and their parents were invited to come to find out more about what was on offer in the community. The event was a huge success and a large turnout was recorded. The network took the opportunity to engage with both young people and their parents in an intergenerational brainstorming exercise to determine what services and opportunities were missing in the community, as well as how the group felt that the Network might add value to the community development work already ongoing in the area. It is proposed to run several evening seminars for children and adults around topics of interest.
Given the success of the evening, it is hoped that a similar model will be rolled out in Ballyphehane and possibly across other RAPID areas in the city where a similar need is identified.
The project was supported and facilitated by the RAPID team.
Community Safety Forums Mahon and Blackrock, and South City Community Safety Forums were run in partnership with An Garda Síochána in February.

City of Sanctuary Community team members supported the running of two City of Sanctuary driven events in Millennium Hall in February, the Diversity Jobs and Education Fair on February 18 9h and the Mental Health Seminar on February 21 st . Outing the Past Cork City Council hosted and supported the second OUTing the Past History Festival in the Millennium Hall on Saturday 22 nd February 2020. The Lord Mayor Cllr John Sheehan opened the event and took his time to view many of the historical information stands, etc as part of the festival. The event was very well attended and very engaging for all who attended or presented at it.
Sexual Heath Conference
The Sexual Health Network hosted its first Sexual Health Conference on February 12th in Cork City Council.
As part of Cork City’s commitment to Fast Track Cities Ireland (pledging to place our cities on a fast-track to end AIDS by 2030)
For the first time ever in Cork over 200 hundred people working in community services and health services, with a direct responsibility for, or an interest in sexual health, were brought together. The conference heard from experts in the field of Sexual Health, showcased the support and clinical services available to the people of Cork, and increased the capacity of those present to respond to sexual health queries and concerns. The conference was collaboration and partnership between the Sexual Health Centre, GUM / STI clinic, the Youth Health Service, Gay Project, LINC, Sexual Violence Centre Cork, Sexual Assault Treatment Unit, Cork HIV Treatment Clinic, HSE Health Promotion and Improvement (HSE South), the Department of Public Health (HSE South) and supported by Cork City Council.

The figures for February are encouraging, with the caveat that one cannot draw true comparisons with the position in February 2019, which was for a much smaller city.
Bearing these points in mind, however, there are some positive metrics. The number of visits to libraries, at 75,051, compares to 62,031 in the same month last year. Membership, at 32,568 in February 2020, is well up on the figures for the autumn of last year. The number of downloads of eBooks and eAudiobooks was 5,097 in February and 10,235 in the year to date, running at twice the level of 2019 and 2018.

Arts & Events _________________________________________________________________________________________________
EMD and Seafest Planning is continuing for EMD 2020 and SeaFest. Following site visits by the Commission in January, the layout and venues where discussed and agreed. The call for exhibitions stands at the EMD Expo was opened at the end of January and registration is anticipated to open in February. Planning is also continuing for SeaFest with deadlines for the programme content set for the end of February. St. Patrick’s Festival The Event Plan for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade was sent for
public consultation in January, with further stakeholder’s meetings planned for February. Groups are currently registering to take part in the parade, and four Street Performance companies have been engaged to develop large scale commission pieces. The Theme of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade 2020 is ‘Cork – A City Rising, 1920- 2020’, to reflect the signific ant place of Cork in the current Decade of Centenaries. There is also a brochure in development to highlight events across the city over the Festival period March 13-17. Arts Funding All funding schemes for 2020 have now concluded. Arts Grants have already gone through Council. The Arts Committee delegated authority to the panels for Bursary, In Context and Project grants. These met and allocated funding on the 10th, 11th and 12th December. Successful and unsuccessful applicants will be informed in late February. Creative Ireland Planning is in train for the 2020 Creative Cork programme. The budget has been allocated and the Creative Team are working on rolling out the projects.

Arts and Older People Creative Enquiry The project is now completed and there will be a public sharing event and launch of the publication evaluating the project on the 20th February.
Sport & Sustainability __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Road Safety Education
The Road Safety Virtual Reality initiative Your Life Your Choice was rolled out to further schools during February.
The background to this initiative is the stark reality that approximately one third of road traffic fatalities and serious injury involves young people. Road traffic fatalities in Ireland had been reducing year on year through a number of hard hitting road safety campaigns and legislation but in recent times fatalities are on the increase. Last year there were 148 fatalities on Irish roads and that’s not counting the life -changing injuries suffered by survivors. Four main killer behaviours are identified as excessive speed, distractions, non-wearing of seat belts and intoxicants, especially amongst young people (16 – 25 yrs). The Virtual Reality (VR) Road Safety Initiative is aimed at young people as they embark on learning to drive and involves using sets of goggles to bring a video to classrooms and communities around the city. In the video the viewer is a front seat passenger in a car with three other young people heading off on a short journey which ends in a serious road traffic incident. Students are given a presentation first on the killer behaviours outlined above and are then invited to use the goggles to watch the video and to watch out for these behaviours. The video is totally immersive, 360 degrees and virtual reality. It provides clear examples of the killer behaviours on the journey, then there is the collision and emergency services arrive on the scene. Viewers find it hard-hitting and very effective. This initiative highlights the main causes of road traffic accidents especially those involving younger drivers and feedback from schools is very positive.

Organised by the HSE, with the community pharmacists in Cork and Kerry, the Disposal of Unused Medicines Properly (DUMP) campaign is supported by the Environmental Awareness section of Cork City Council. It gives the public an opportunity to return unwanted or out-of-date medicines so that they can be disposed of safely and properly.
