The Twilight Community Group will through its activities endeavour to promote social inclusion & integration and advancement of all members of our communities
The objective was to work closely with the local community and sporting groups to build relationships within the clubs. This was achieved by inviting the new nationalities living in Kilkenny to engage with local clubs. At the time, the Polish diaspora was the dominant community. Twilight worked closely with the Polish Embassy and, in 2016, was invited to be part of the inaugural Polska Eire Festival National Festival Committee. In year one, festivals in Dublin, Waterford, Cork, Kilkenny and Galway were achieved. Before Covid 19, we had 171 Festivals throughout Ireland.
International Youth Centre International Communities Cultural Activities
Twilight received support from the European Union and held an International Conference with themes based on the Stigmatization of Migrants and European Cultures Together to promote social inclusion and an equal society for Men, Women, Boys and Girls in all their diversity. Twilight undertakes European projects for all citizens from our diverse communities of Kilkenny City & County and the South East region. Every Project Twilight engages in is explicitly geared to benefit Citizens of all ages and backgrounds and supports members from disadvantaged communities to travel at ‘No Charge’ to Europe on our Programmes. Twilight has enabled members to gain new globalized experiences of Heritage, History, Culture, Arts, and daily life and has forged new multicultural bonds.
