Dear Mr. Archive,
Next week Cork Lifelong Learning Festival takes place from the 26th March to the 1st April with an amazingly varied programme encapsulating learning in it's broadest sense. CEF is participating with two events focusing on the development and use of a new trading currency. With the recession there has been a resurgence of schemes such as LETS and also an interest in looking at different economic and currency models.

Phoebe Bright who will be facilitating the session is a member of FEASTA and has a strong financial background having worked in this sector in the City of London. The session will consist of a brief history of currencies, currency in the 21st Century and an interactive exploration of using a new trading currency. These sessions will take place as follows:

Tuesday 27th March              Cork Central Library, Grand Parade
                                                2pm - 4pm

Thursday 29th March            Bishopstown Library
                                                2pm -4pm

These events are FREE and all are welcome. Do come along and learn more about the opportunities of trading in a different way. Please bring a laptop or wifi device if you have one. Further details of FEASTA here, and do check out the Liquidity Network section.

CEF is also supporting a community event being organised in conjunction with the Health Zone Project worker Johanne McNamara and the Global Action Plan trainees in Farranree. This entails a nature and heritage walk along Nash's Boreen as well as a children's nature workshop (facilitated by Jessica Mason) and a mini treasure hunt. It is hoped to have the ESB Electric car available at 2pm prior to the walk.

Saturday 31st March     Nash's Boreen Heritage and Nature Walk
                                         Meet opposite O'Sullivan's Pub by the Fairfield.
                                         2pm - walk will commence at 2.30pm

Looking forward to meeting you at these events.

Best regards,
