Women Weaving Cross Border Connections 💕
We had a fabulous 2 days in the Hillgrove Hotel last week with an amazing bunch of talented, passionate, creative and inspiring women from across Leitrim, South Armagh & Mid Ulster as part of our PEACEPLUS Funded project supported by Leitrim County Council & SEUPB - 'The Hidden Half - Leitrim Women in Focus'. The 2 day residential saw nearly 40 women come together in person after working and connecting together via zoom for the last 6 weeks.
We connected, built friendships, shared experiences, learned about each others communities and discussed the topics and issues that matter most to women across the Island of Ireland North & South.
Thank you to all the women that took part for your honesty, passion, openness and generosity in sharing, listening and engaging with each other. We shared food, laughs, stories, and experiences, we talked together, supported each other, created together and even joined voices in song together. It was a privilege to share time with all of you, lasting friendships were made and we look forward to coming together again.
