General Information

The United Youth of Ireland (UYI) is a group of dedicated young people from ages 15 to 25 coming from different countries. In its early beginning the young people were coming mainly from different African countries and there were also young people from Eastern Europe participating in their activities and nowadays the United Youth of Ireland is also joined by Irish young people. They are both students and workers but what they have in common is that all the members of UYI are die-hard volunteers working for a cause in service of the local communities where they operate. The Youth group started in 2010 putting together their time, skills, talents and few resources. With some financial help from various friends, they were also able to address some problems that migrant young people are experiencing: clash of cultures, attitudes and ways of doing things, FGM, intercultural mediation, human rights, oral and body language, access to public services, racism, discrimination, equality, inclusion and holistic integration. As a Youth Group, the UFI members are affiliated with Catholic Youth Care (CYC) and therefore are Garda vetted and have all received Child Protection Basic Awareness Training and the Code of Good Practice for Youth Work. Recently, they have also joined the Youth Programme of the City of Dublin Youth Services Board (CDYSB). Their activities address positively and concretely mainly most of the difficulties and problems that migrant young people and the “New Irish” could encounter in our Society today and in their local communities.

Mission and Objectives

• Educate young people about different culture
• Assist young immigrants settle into the Irish community
• Educate young people about human rights and its importance to our world

It started within the Orthodox Christian Setting, but at the very early stages it attracted christians form Anglican, Catholic and other Protestant denominations. Therefore, at present WMI offers tis membership to everyone. WMI is not gender exclusive, as it often attracts women as well as men for its STudy Days or Conferences. There is a small fee for some of the events, while others are offered free of charge. People can support WMI by subscribing for membership and payign a small fee, which covers administration costs of organising events for public. The structure of organisation consists of a hadful of people, a director, treasurer, administator and informal advisers. Everyone work on a voluntary basis, so there is no salary invovled. As far as resources available, they are modest and mostly come from the organised events, i.e. the leftovers of people's subscriptions, donations and conference fees.

The format of Study Days, as well as onferences, is to attract a number of speakers and to allow time for discussion, feedback, communication and fellowship. Partner organisations and insitutioins depend on each individually organised event. It is often a co-organiser organisation, as in the case of Orthodox Theological Research Forum or Dublin City University, but also colaborating organisations which provide the venue and further admin assistance, such as International Gender Studies in LMH, Oxford.

World Arabic Language Day in Dublin; Border Crossings (UK), sister company in Ireland, is a new member of the Irish network.

World Arabic Language Day was established by UNESCO in 2010 and is observed annually on 18th Dec. Since 2018, Ireland has celebrated this event to celebrate the language and promote its cultural diversity. Arabic Cultural Events, a member of the Irish network of the Anna Lindh Foundation, organizes these events under the rubric ‘Arabesque Events’ with the aim of bringing East and West together through the sharing of traditions and culture. In 2020, on December 18th, this was done via a new Arabic video conferencing/concert streaming facility.

Border Crossings (UK) has been a member of the ALF for many years, and was funded by the ALF for a project with Palestine in 2014. They have created a sister company in Ireland and joined the Irish network in December 2020. The organization has twenty-five years of experience in intercultural performance, curation, and community work. The company works across borders between cultures and art forms, and between nations and peoples. Border Crossings advocates for a universally accessible approach to cultural work, with particular stress on:

• Social Integration. Border Crossings works with artists and international cultural partners to make theatre and other cultural outputs that reflect the increasingly multicultural and international nature of Irish society.

• International Collaboration. Border Crossings works with partners across the European Union and beyond to develop innovative new approaches to theatrical and cultural creation, participation, and learning.

• Participation and Education. Border Crossings works closely with the diverse communities of contemporary Ireland, both within the education system and at a grassroots community level, to enable wide and varied participation in cultural activities, regardless of ethnic and cultural identity, religious beliefs, and socio-economic background.
