C2C Heritage Legacy Consultation.

Written on 10th August 2021. Posted in News.

As a requirement of funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Fermanagh and Omagh District Council C2C is consulting on a heritage legacy proposal for consideration by communities around Cuilcagh Mountain. The engagement process is led by the Cuilcagh Lakelands UNESCO Global Geopark and supported by the C2C Management Committee. Our external evaluator Insight Solutions has been appointed to lead on the engagement with local communities in Fermanagh and Cavan, specifically those within approximately a 10-mile radius from the summit of Cuilcagh Mountain.

The main focus of this engagement is to:

Empower local communities to identify what is unique about their landscapes, heritage and culture;
Explore and establish the desire within local communities to collaborate in delivering on shared heritage projects; and
Develop a 3-5 year programme delivery plan which will help local communities promote and conserve heritage and potentially lead to heritage projects in their areas.

This is a great opportunity to get involved in activities which will help promote and celebrate the value of heritage and culture, enhance community development by connecting local people with their area’s built, natural, cultural and archaeological heritage, and lead to sustainable development for the area as a cultural destination where people are attracted to visit and explore.

Community Engagement

Local communities will have the opportunity to play a leading role in shaping and delivering the outworking of this engagement which will run from 9^th August 2021 – 15^th September 2021. There are a number of ways you can take part, as outlined below.

Zoom community engagement meetings will provide an opportunity to become involved with other like-minded people and communities from the proposed footprint area. You will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed project and contribute ideas which may be implemented into a future delivery plan. Please note, all meetings will follow the same format and agenda.
