CFE is a skills and labour exchange system. It is open, voluntary and does not involve the making or spending of money. It is at heart "an economy of goodwill" with its own currency, the favour.
How many favours will it take ?
For example, it took the tutor 4 hours to prepare the 2 hour course, if 6 people sign up you would need to spend 4 favours for a 2 hours course. Sounds fair ?
Courses will be held in the Boardroom above the Courtyard Bar, Clonakilty.
Requirements:
Laptop with Wifi , Internet access at home to practise. (If you don't have one we might be able to help)
