This programme aims to support refugees, people seeking protection and beneficiaries of temporary protection to

and a people seeking protection to hear their stories and learn from their experiences. This is the 4th Know Your
Rights programme in Ireland, more than 400 people have participated since 2021.

We are also delighted to announce an exciting opportunity for interested participants who complete the Know Your Rights
Programme to be considered for the Deloitte Development Programme which aims to give people the skills to succeed

It was a wonderful day out in a beautiful location. We were able to meet so many fantastic people who do such valuable work within the communities of Ireland.

 

Members of our youth group will be performing at Cork Midsummer Festival on Saturday 15 June, 7pm to 9pm.
