Intercultural Strategic Plan 2018-2022

Longford County Council's Intercultural Strategic Plan 2018-2022 addresses the needs of the migrant, Traveller, Roma, and indigenous Irish communities. It recommends an agile and adaptive strategy to encourage social inclusion and cohesion for established and new minority communities across the county.

In 2024, €16,100 in intercultural grants assisted projects which support our new communities in County Longford. This funding will help to celebrate the rich diversity of cultures in Longford.
