Staff were thrilled to attend "Beyond the Labels: Cross Cultural Forum" event yesterday in the University of Galway to mark Ukrainian Independence Day.

Our CEO, Linda Sice Brogan, participated in a panel discussion and assisted in raising the Ukrainian flag outside Áras na Mac Léinn.

The event brought people together through insightful “community dialogue circles,” a wonderful array of delicious Ukrainian food, and a moving performance by the Harmony Ukrainian Choir.

The forum was hosted by Ukrainian group Women for Integration and Wellbeing, in partnership with the University of Galway and Galway City Partnership.

🎨🌿 Our young people from the Ballinfoile Youth Activity Programme have brought their creativity to life through a vibrant new mural celebrating the beauty of living in diverse, connected communities — both human and non-human! 🐝🌱🦋

As part of the project, participants took part in biodiversity workshops and a nature walk with Catríona Carlin from the School of Natural Sciences, University of Galway, while also exploring thought-provoking philosophical questions with the Department of Philosophy, University of Galway. Artist Ronan Conor then guided the group in using spray paint and developing their ideas into the final mural.

This wonderful project was delivered in partnership with the Department of Philosophy, University of Galway, and was generously sponsored by Galway City Council.

A special thank you to Fergal Cushen (Galway City Council), Adam Stoneman (Creative Ireland, Galway City Council), Nora Ward (University of Galway) and Ronan Conor (Artist) for their support and contribution.

🌍✨ Staff and Board members recently celebrated a wonderful Intercultural Day at Galway City Partnership, recognising the wide range of cultures, traditions and identities represented across our organisation!

The day was filled with opportunities to learn, participate and share cultural experiences, with activities including origami, djembe drumming, pysanky, the bodhrán, henna, a Traveller craft display, a “Guess the Flag” game and a name wall exploring the meaning and importance of our names.

Food also played a big part in the celebration, with colleagues sharing dishes from different cultures through a multicultural potluck. A special performance by the Ukrainian Choir brought everyone together through music and shared celebration. 🎶

A huge thank you to our Anti-Racism Coordinator, Anti-Racism Committee, the Ukrainian Choir, everyone who contributed food, activities and displays, and all those who helped make the day such a success!

It was a fantastic day of cultural exchange, curiosity and connection, reflecting GCP’s ongoing commitment to anti-racism, inclusion and creating a workplace where everyone feels respected, represented and valued. 🤝🌎
