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.
