The Integration Centre’s Diverse Ireland Awards have been created to raise awareness of the positive advancements around immigrant integration in Ireland.
Too often immigrant issues take a back seat in policy-making, media-coverage and general day to day life.
These awards have been established to help people learn more about the important work being done and to honour the efforts of those who are creating stronger, more unified and successful communities.
Thanks to everyone that joined us for the award ceremony, it was a very special day.
