The idea for this image bank began in a co-operation project between West Cork LEADER Co-Op and Streekplatform Meetjesland, a Belgian rural development agency. Whilst the challenges facing the 2 areas are very different both agencies have a core interest in working with regional identity as a means of developing cohesion amongst the region's partners and strengthening the value of that identity through consistent and clear communication. The project undertaken in West Cork focuses on the elements of visual communication of a region's identity.
Fuchsia Brands Ltd is a development initiative of the West Cork LEADER Co-operative Society Ltd. The LEADER+ programme is funded by the Irish Government and part financed by the European Union under the National Development Plan 2000-2006.
