Members of the public are being invited to the official launch in Monaghan today of an exciting new project aimed at building positive relationships in communities experiencing rapid demographic change.
The Intercultural Cross-border Inclusion Programme, supported by PEACEPLUS, has been developed by an alliance of five grassroots organisations.
A three-year initiative, the ICI Programme was designed with a geographical focus on rural and urban areas across Northern Ireland and in the Republic of Ireland counties of Donegal, Leitrim and Monaghan.
At a time when towns and villages across Ireland are experiencing population growth and cultural shifts, the project's overall aim is to foster a more inclusive society while empowering minority ethnic communities and encouraging active participation.
The launch will take place in Monaghan Peace Campus this morning.
