Background

About Marie Corr

Community Development professional with strong background in advocacy, mentoring, capacity building, leadership and policy development. Over 20 years experience working and volunteering in the community sector. Particular interest in working with migrant communities and in areas of disadvantage addressing social exclusion and developing capacity and solutions within communities. I'm mostly consumed by hope and possibility, and I love and am guided by this pearl from Vaclav Havel:"Hope is not prognostication. It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart; it transcends the world that is immediately experienced and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously headed for early success, but, rather, an ability to work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed."
