Hello from Wales!

Hello everyone!

My name is Darren Jones, from Blackwood in the South Wales valleys.

I am very pleased indeed to be a part of this exciting workshop and am looking forward to meeting you all on the 6th!

I work for a community organisation that aims to tackle poverty and deprivation in some of Wales' most deprived communities and am hoping that this workshop will help me to develop new ways of bringing together and engaging with young and old(er) people within the villages where I work.

I've seen the participants list and its great to see the number of different countries represented!

Well, I'm one of those vacantioners Teresa mentioned, so I'll not be posting now until a week on Sunday, apologies Teresa!

Bye for now.
Darren
