Moville reaches out to non-national men  07.05.08

AN Inishowen men's group is organising a unique series of evenings to help non nationals including Polish and Latvian to integrate into the local community.
The visitors are being invited to bring samples of their native food to the integration events being organised by Moville Men's Group.
The group's organiser David Simpson said he hoped the Community Integration Project would encourage local men to go along and tell the visitors about local history, culture and Irish food.
“Good community relations are built on people learning about each other's cultures and customs. There is a long tradition in Ireland of welcoming people. This project is a modern version of that tradition," he said.
Moville Men’s Group was set up to help men to access community or adult education and to address the needs of men in Moville.
It has been running for two years and holds evening meetings with talks and health workshops with a core group of fourteen men ranging from men in their fifties to the oldest at 92.
The Community Integration Project is being supported by the Community Foundation for Ireland and the help of the Inishowen Development Partnership’s immigrant integration development worker.
The first evening will focus on the Polish community and will held this Friday, May 9. A second talk on Latvia will take place on Monday, May 12. All talks will take place in Moville Day Centre starting at 7.30pm. All men very welcome. For more information please contact David Simpson on 074 93 81224.
