In addition, three prototype tools from Dublin will be showcased:

- Collaborations http://collaborations.website/ , a pilot communities directory, drawing on previous community work, to help strengthen connectivity & information sharing between communities; and
- ComPass A guide for community groups to follow if they would like to develop a community-based project. This could help such groups ‘navigate the system’ by drawing from organized sources of contributed and witnessed local knowledge. (in alpha stage).
In the afternoon, there will also be a Participatory Workshop facilated by OSMOS, a TURAS spin off, where participants can share separate strands of experiances together to explore solving planning problems in a collaborative way.

Growing Dublin Communities
We’d like to introduce you to COLLABORATIONS, a pilot online communities directory.
You can search and connect directly with other community groups. Did you know there are over 60 community gardens in Dublin? Have you heard of Art Squad, Fighting Words or Social Entrepreneurs Ireland?
There’s a whole range of groups dedicated to fostering and celebrating our diversity.
Connected we’re a living city.
