Thanks to support from the Jersey Irish Society, the Consulate General of Ireland in Vancouver, the Embassy of Ireland, UAE, and the Department of Culture, Heritage & the Gaeltacht, Cultúr Club training workshops were held in the following places in 2019:

The director of the project was on-site to facilitate a general workshop on community-building and to provide the following:
- training workshops on the Cultúr Club curriculum
- guidance for potential facilitators of the local workshops
- networking for members of the Irish community
- consultation with Irish groups of all kinds, including language, culture, sports and more
- an outreach roadshow on the Irish language and culture for local schools
The presentation from the 2018 training workshop is available to download here.
We had over 176 people participate in our pilot schemes to date, so a heartfelt thanks to everyone who came along to the training workshops or helped us arrange school visits and meetings with local community groups both in 2018 and in 2019.
