ICLRD  is in the process of delivering an Executive Training Programme for  public/private sector representatives and elected members in the  Northwest.  Primarily working with both Donegal County Council and Derry  City Council, this programme is focusing on the theme of <em>Fostering Growth through Cooperation in the Northwest Region</em>.   It will take place over a series of five modules – commencing in  October 2010 – with interventions from expert speakers from government,  academia and the private sector, from both sides of the border.
Through  highly informative and interactive presentations, the programme will  pay particular attention to the themes of cross-border collaboration,  leadership and institutional arrangements in achieving collaboration,  city of culture and the role of culture in regeneration, cross-border  enterprise and skills strategies, and the green economy and sustainable  energies.
The training is being offered as part of ICLRD’s CroSPlaN initiative funded under INTERREG IVA, administered by SEUPB.
