City to City in Dublin came at a time when the city was experiencing the effects of the global economic crash and therefore the mood and general atmosphere was stripped of all the optimism that had accompanied the boom years of the previous decade. It was a difficult but timely engagement through which we encouraged, built up and helped to track some new possibilities for many spheres of society.
The conversations continue to grow in many spheres of society and there are groups, organisations and individuals who believe that conversational listening forums are key to shaping and bringing hope and future direction to this unique city community.
