Welcome to Fáilte Isteach |
|
Fáilte Isteach is a community project with older volunteers welcoming new migrants through conversational English classes. It is a unique project which utilises the skills, talents and expertise of older volunteers and harnesses their desire to contribute positively to society.
Fáilte Isteach Dublin 15 Initiative Launch
Fáilte Isteach works at breaking down the barriers that migrants and communities face by extending the hands of friendship and goodwill through the practical, welcoming and inclusive manner in which the programme is delivered. It is providing more than the transfer of skills and knowledge. It is making a positive difference to everyone involved.
