Community Education Centre's Vision

Community Education is concerned with overcoming the constraints that people have, which limit their potential to participate. It aims to develop the capacity of the more marginalised sectors of the community to participate in both decision making and in the social, economic and cultural life of society.

The role of Community Development in encouraging local people to become actively involved in tackling social and economic problems in their communities has been proven effective in recent years and is being increasingly advocated. Many development initiatives are now relying on community development expertise as a basis for their core strategies. However, a range of skills and an understanding of the community development process are required. The NUI Galway Community Education Centre was established in direct response to this training need. Through the provision of Community Education, incorporating a combination of effective outreach strategies and supporting services, the Centre aims to contribute to the social, cultural and economic development of communities and special interest groups.
