SPAN cartoons and about the Project


I’ve put all the SPAN cartoons together here. It’s a good way of showing what I can do for documenting conferences and meetings.

SPAN (Strategic Planning Action Network - Réseau de Programmation Stratégique Active) is a “North-West Europe” Interreg III B inter-regional cooperation project. Eight partners from four regions in four European Union Member States are involved in SPAN.

The project has an overall budget of EUR 4 million, 60% of which is funded by ERDF, through the Interreg III B Community Initiative.

SPAN aims to develop innovative approaches to strategic planning for the benefit of all the partner regions and test them under actual conditions. The stress is placed on the participation of civil society in the planning of territorial interventions at regional, infra-regional and local levels. The project also aims to shed new light on relations between urban and rural areas, relations which could be put to better use in the future.

Sneak peek at this week’s Double Vision…

This week’s cartoon is about a very hot topic in Galway at the moment: the exodus of City Council refuse customers to the private firm The City Bin Co. You can read the full article in the Connacht Tribune on Friday, and online the same day in Charlie Adley’s Double Vision. The above is my take on it. Ooooo, controversial!

My Generosity Knows No Bounds….

…Well, it’s not many people that have their own currency drawn up for their birthday, is it? That’s the great thing about caricatures- they make great last minute birthday presents! Considering I only found out it was my friend’s birthday about two hours before I saw her, that’s not bad going! I thought it looked quite good, despite the rush (and in case you were wondering, she works in a bank).
Oh, and Happy Birthday Karena!

More Conference Cartoons

And just for good measure, here are a few more from the SPAN Conversations hosted by the Southside Partnership in Dublin:


If you would like to make an enquiry about having me at your meeting/conference, contact me here.

SPAN Again!

This is one of the older ones, but it went down especially well- I think many of the delegates at the meeting identified with it!
