Dublin Rural LEADER Completes Capacity Building Training Programme for Rural Communities

Last week marked an important milestone as Dublin Rural LEADER successfully concluded the final workshops of its Capacity Building Training Programme. Designed to strengthen the skills, confidence, and leadership capacity of local groups across rural Dublin, the programme has supported participants in developing practical tools to deliver meaningful change in their communities.

Supporting Rural Communities Through Skills and Knowledge

The Capacity Building Training Programme was created to help community organisations grow their capacity in areas such as project planning, governance, funding applications, collaboration, and long-term sustainability. Each workshop offered hands-on learning opportunities, practical insights, and dedicated support for participants working to achieve positive local impact.

A Collaborative Learning Experience

Throughout the programme, community groups from across rural Dublin came together to share experiences, strengthen networks, and learn from one another. The interactive workshop format ensured that participants not only developed new skills but also gained valuable peer connections that will continue to support their work into the future.

Feedback from attendees highlighted the relevance of the training content, the supportive learning environment, and the practical takeaways they could apply directly within their own organisations.

Strengthening the Future of Rural Dublin

As the programme comes to a close, Dublin Rural LEADER extends a warm thank-you to all participants, partners, and supporters who contributed to its success. The completion of the Capacity Building Training Programme reflects our commitment to empowering rural communities, fostering local leadership, and ensuring that groups across the region have the tools they need to thrive.

We look forward to continuing our work with community organisations and supporting future projects under the LEADER Programme.
