The Asian & Irish Community Connect 1st Annual Conference creates a vibrant and inclusive space for researchers, community practitioners, activists, policymakers, artists, and community members to share research, lived experiences, and creative practices that strengthen Asian communities and deepen connections across Irish society. This conference aims to amplify Asian voices, bridge research and practice, inform policy, and foster solidarity between Asian communities and wider Irish society. Together, we seek to turn shared experiences into meaningful and lasting change.
