Objective

“Core Digital Network”is a communication project implemented by Tyrone Donegal Partnership partnered with Intercomm Belfast to make innovative, useable video conferencing technology accessible to the entire local community arena in Omagh and Donegal. The technology allows realtime video communication between remote specified locations, not only within Ireland, but with partners Worldwide.

Community

The Core Digital Network consists of 38 video conference centres that can deliver education, training or facilitate face-to-face meetings that will support, enhance and create a flexible learning experience.  The 3 year project is supported by the International Fund for Ireland and is entirely cross-border and cross-community with participants being drawn from Counties Tyrone and Donegal.

Business

Within the Network are 5 Learning Centres operating in Donegal are connected via state of the art video conferencing equipment to Omagh Community House (main hub) and can link into the World Bank Global Development Learning Network. This project will provide local access (at each learning centre) to a range of courses (accredited and non-accredited), including conflict management, citizenship, personal development, conflict resolution, peace and reconciliation and community development. Other training can be supplied upon request.

Peace and Reconciliation

This technology can allow those from fractured communities to share experiences on a Worldwide scale. We feel Northern Ireland is strategically placed to share these experiences of Peace and Reconciliation with other communities.
