What is being bought

Published requirement description

Competent consultancy organisations are invited to tender for the design and delivery of a culturally focused integration programme supporting women in farming. This initiative will bring together women from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds who are living in, working in, or connected to farming and rural life across the Slieve Gullion DEA area.

Through a series of interactive workshops, practical demonstrations and farm-based experiences, participants will engage in a culture swap, sharing knowledge, practices and lived experiences of agriculture, diversification and rural life. The programme will create a supportive space for women to explore cultural identity within farming, build skills and confidence, and strengthen peer connections
