SECRETARY
GENERAL, QUARTIERS EN CRISE
Pauline Geoghegan is Secretary General of Quartiers en Crise, a European
network of towns and cities with an integrated approach to urban renovation and
residents' participation in that process.
Reflecting the multi cultural challenges being faced by many of Europe's
most disadvantaged neighbourhoods, within the network Pauline has coordinated
three transnational anti discrimination projects: 'Changing the culture of the
Organisation', 'Training for partnership against discrimination', and a further
project aiming at reinforcing partnership through the participation of those
most directly affected by discrimination.
Pauline previously worked with the European Anti Poverty Network in Brussels
for six years, as Development Officer, dealing, amongst other issues, with
questions of racism and poverty in Europe.
Trained as an architect, and with experience in social and cooperative
housing projects and urban planning issues, Pauline was Community Development
worker in a local community centre in Dublin's inner city prior to moving to
Brussels.
