The Galway City Intercultural and Anti-Racism Strategy was launched today! 🤝

Coordinated by Galway City Partnership alongside local statutory, education and community stakeholders, the Strategy brings organisations across Galway City together to promote social inclusion, celebrate diversity and combat racism and discrimination.

The Access Centre at University of Galway is proud to be contributing to its delivery, including by supporting educational and training organisations to promote diversity and create inclusive, welcoming environments through initiatives such as Schools of Sanctuary and University of Sanctuary.

We look forward to continuing to work with partners and communities across Galway City to help turn the Strategy into action.
