Madeleine Lyes, our Community Engagement Officer, had a conversation with Social Justice Matters about how new kinds of engagement can drive the climate transition.

A new mapping project for Limerick! TII just announced they'll be expanding the Limerick bikeshare scheme -- so where would be a good location for new stations??? Una's map just went live last night and it's already flying along. Where would you like a station, and why? 👇👇
The day has arrived! My Positive Energy project with @plusCities is finally live. It’s now up to the public to decide; where do we need bikeshare stations in Limerick? Please click the link below to pinpoint! 🚲 https://t.co/zC6c7HnYVE

It's been fascinating to guide people through the mapping tool and see its effects in real time. Handing power to people - with this tool, and with the @pluscities Positive Energy Champions campaign - is the most effective and transformative way to navigate the energy transition.
I love this map, of a future King's Island where its amazing natural resources are harnessed for sustainable power. Aoife from Abbey River Cafe, a @plusCities Positive Energy Champion, held walk-and-map sessions to crowd-source ideas for their community. https://t.co/Vh0PoJ1Ozx

Absolutely wonderful to see the Space Engagers mapping tool up and running as part of the @plusCities project in Limerick. We're supporting local people to run their own mapping projects, collecting data they can use for advocacy, organising, and the energy transition.
It is brilliant to see the responses start to roll in on @AnneCronin5's mapping project. She's using the @SpaceEngagers tool to crowdsource school routes for people walking and cycling in Limerick, asking people to pinpoint impressions of their route. See https://t.co/Vh0PoJ1Ozx

In our June blog Professor Alan Ahearne explains that in order to adapt, SMEs need to tap into new business opportunities associated with Covid-19. Find out more here https://t.co/D2AJNCJAXb

Limerick runs on the power of its communities. As part of @plusCities City Engage Week, I'm hosting a conversation (Wed 7pm) between 6 of Limerick's most active community group leaders to talk about their work. No one knows more about the people of this city than them. 1/

The latest Limerick @plusCities Open Innovation Call is now in a new phase as we've identified six amazing projects to support. They'll be announced publicly soon. It's going to be a lot of fun. https://t.co/Ej3F2lqQWL

Applications for the Open Innovation Call are now closed, details of the successful project will be released shortly. Do you have an idea that could help transform the way Limerick uses energy?...

Looking forward to helping with this campaign with @SpaceEngagers. We'll be working on the "empowering communities" strand of the campaign, using mapping as a tool for local engagement. Have my fingers crossed for a few summer outdoor events...

People who join the project this year can get free smart meters to monitor energy, and specialised analysis of how their building could improve energy use. They'll get opportunities for energy sharing (making an energy community) and for feeding back to the grid.

The +CityxChange project in Limerick, and our work in it, is intensifying this year. The new potential to sell energy back to the grid is an amazing opportunity, and +CxC is helping people in the city get started. Learn more about the project: https://t.co/3IysVzAFBK
