THOMOND Park Stadium hosted a Citizen Brainstorming Session on Tuesday, July 21 as part of efforts to secure 2020 European Capital of Culture designation for Limerick.

Tuesdayโ€™s session was the latest in a series of events, conversations and activities taking place across the region, which the Limerick 2020 team says will inform the set of values and priorities that will underpin Limerickโ€™s bid.

โ€œThe European Capital of Culture participation programme provides an ideal opportunity for people of all ages and from all backgrounds to have their say on Limerick 2020,โ€ commented Sheila Deegan, arts and culture officer, Limerick 2020 Bid Team.

โ€œLimerick 2020 needs everybodyโ€™s ideas, passion and enthusiasm to help secure the 2020 European Capital of Culture designation for Limerick.โ€

Anyone wishing to host a Kitchen Table Conversation in their community should send an email to [email protected] after which they will be issued conversation tips, feedback forms for capturing the ideas, a checklist and poster template.
