Sport Ireland and TAFISA Host Active City Capacity-Building Workshop

Five Irish cities joined an Active City Capacity-Building workshop on 25 November. Hosted by Sport Ireland and led by TAFISA and the Liverpool John Moores University, the workshop aimed to support the Local Sports Partnerships of Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford in initiating their Active City projects as part of a national programme launched by Sport Ireland.

Participants reflected on the concept of Active City and on the key elements that make an Active City. They also learnt from and exchanged on the experience of the Liverpool City Council, which started its Active City approach back in 2005.

TAFISA thanks Sport Ireland for their trust, as well as John Marsden, Prof. Keith George and Prof. Lynne Boddy for their time and contributions to the workshop.
