the History of the Community Education Centre
The
NUI Galway Community Education Centre was re-established in 1996 by the Office of Adult and Continuing Education, NUI Galway, to provide back-up support and a range of resources and training for community development initiatives. To date the Centre has worked with a wide range of community groups and development organisations in Galway and the Western Region, including LEADER Companies, Local Development Partnership Companies, Development Boards and Local Community Organisations.
NUI Galway is fully committed to developing and promoting initiatives and programmes which seek to counter disadvantage and social exclusion. The development of the Community Education Centre is one example of the University’s genuine commitment towards advancing the social, economic, educational and cultural needs of the Border, Midlands and Western (BMW) Region.
