Summer School 2011 publication

Summer School 2011 results will be published 11am March 8th at the Crescent Arts Centre

The Forum for Alternative Belfast held its third summer school in August 2011 in collaboration with the South Belfast Partnership Board. The study area for the week was inner south Belfast and its connection to the city centre. In 2010 the summer school was called “Talkoot” a Finnish word for the gathering of neighbours working together to build or repair. The Roads Service and Belfast City Council took part.  

One achievement of 2011 was that all the invited departments engaged along with representatives from the surrounding community groups. The strength of this collaboration was the achievement of an outcome not anticipated at the beginning of the week.
