Trinity Immigration Initiative
Migrant Networks - Facilitating Migrant Integration
Ireland is at a vital crossroads in terms of understanding the contribution migrants are making and what they themselves do to integrate into Irish society. This collaborative project mapped migrants’ networking activities in the fields of religion, culture, media, advocacy, and gender, and explored how these networks facilitated both migrants’ social, cultural and political integration in Ireland and their cultural expression. The project aimed to enable a variety of stakeholders, including government departments, public bodies, NGOs, the media, the general public and migrants themselves, to understand migrants as active agents in their own integration and as contributing to Ireland’s cultural richness.
