Dublin's prestigious 'Science Gallery', in the grounds of
the historic Trinity College, was the venue for Ireland's second Citizen/Youth
consultation last Saturday (25th May).

Participants between 18-28 years of age
and drawn from over 200 applicants, gathered to create new ideas and options
around the six subject areas of Transport,
Energy, Food, Leisure & Tourism, A Place to Live, and Human Health under the guidance of
Michelle Devaney of NUI Galway, along with Olivia Daly and John Joyce of
AquaTT.

Special attention was given to the two nationally allocated subjects of
Food and A Place to Live, with over 80 ideas being generated.

Participants reported that they enjoyed the event and that
it broadened their knowledge and understanding of the Seas. In particular, the
'Collective Intelligence' methodology employed, where participants are asked to
consider themselves as individual cells in a gigantic collective 'brain' was
very much appreciated as a way of creating and exploring new ideas.
