Community Development
The term Community Development in its broader sense refers to the process through which the life of a community is enhanced through the work of a range of community based or voluntary organisations.
It aims to enable all communities to influence, to shape and to be fully involved in local decisions.
Community Development is a core value of Galway City Council's work and cuts across a range of different departments and functions.
In the Community and Culture Department, Community Development takes place in the context of the work of:
- Galway City Development Board
- Galway City Community Forum
- RAPID II programme
- Comhairle na nÓg
- Other projects and activities
