Llŷn Iveragh Ecomuseums

Description

LIVE was a collaboration between the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd and the Iveragh peninsula in Kerry. LIVE aimed to enable coastal communities to promote their natural and cultural assets, creating opportunities for sustainable tourism, especially outside of the traditional peak tourist seasons.

LIVE used the Ecomuseum model of co-operative marketing to create digital and non-digital resources for eco and educational tourism. The project facilitated workshops, education programmes and knowledge exchange sessions to build a cohort of active Ecomuseum ambassadors and citizen scientists on both peninsulas who are skilled in digital marketing and engaged with their local environments.

Although the project has now ended, you can find out more about ongoing initiatives at www.discoveriveragh.ie and at www.ecoamgueddfa.org.

LIVE was part funded by the European Regional Development fund through its Ireland Wales co-operation programme 2014-2020.
