Open invite as DkIT to host day of intercultural celebration
DkIT is the venue for Dundalk’s first ever day of intercultural celebrations on Tuesday, March 16.
The organising committee is calling on all intercultural groups and interested individuals to take part in the day’s events, and help make the day as great a success as possible.
The day is set to be a fun and interesting event focusing on how people from diverse backgrounds can best live and work together.
The day-long programme will include a conference titled “The role of interculturalism in developing an inclusive society”, a DVD screening, food fair, music performances and a Ceili dance.
Children aren’t being left out, and there’s a full programme planned including storytelling, a puppet show, balloons, and a magic show.
A living history exhibit featuring a fully working Traveller’s Tinsmith with wagon and also featuring traditional leather crafts is sure to capture attention.
The organisers of the celebration are hoping it will bring together as many people as possible to celebrate cultural diversity on the eve of the St Patrick’s Day national holiday.
Denis Cummins, President, DkIT said “This is the first celebration of its kind to be held in Dundalk and the organising committee is working hard to rise to the challenge.
“However, for it to be as successful as possible, we need to get as many people involved in this celebration as possible, be it via the food fair, the conference or any event on the programme.
“If they contact us, with a specific interest or simply saying they want to be involved, we would be delighted to hear from them.”
· Anyone interested in taking part in the Intercultural Celebration should contact Brianain Erraught at brianain.erraught(at)dkit.ie or 042-9370200 by Friday, January 29.
