The first ever Global Irish Civic Forum has concluded successfully in Dublin after two days of invaluable discussion by almost 200 delegates from 17 countries. The delegates of course only represent a small sample of the vast global Irish civic society, but all in attendance were impressed with the diverse types of organisations present and the breath of experience they brought.
The videos of the panel discussions and speakers are available and you can view them here.
A full report is expected in the coming weeks, along with video coverage of the panel discussions and presentations, until then we have prepared a storify version of our Twitter coverage from the two days which you can view below.
June 3 – Day one of #Diaspora15.
June 4 – Day two of #Diaspora15.
