Comhrá: Sparks of Hope Ep3 – Building Common Ground

Comhrá is a podcast series produced by the Baha’is of Ireland. They called their podcast Comhrá (which is pronounced co-raw and which means ‘conversation’) because they love to talk and they know the best way to get to know each other is to settle down for a chat.

In this third episode of Sparks of Hope, Frank Kennedy chats with Brian O’Flanagan about his involvement in the setting up of the New Community Men’s Shed in Waterford. A slightly different take on the concept of men’s sheds, the Waterford New Community Men’s Shed is a cooperative collective of migrant men, many living in direct provision.

You can find all the podcast in this series on website for the Baha’is of Ireland.
