The Community Relations Council is holding a special conference on 19 October 2010, at the Stormont Hotel to discuss OFMDFM’s proposals for Cohesion, Sharing and Integration (CSI).

A programme is attached below and media are invited to attend.

The conference will be attended by community relations practitioners and will hear a presentation from CRC Chief Executive Duncan Morrow on CRC’s thoughts on the CSI proposals.
