The Venezuela Community in Ireland
Promoting Integration and Social Impact
Our Mission:
The Venezuela Community in Ireland (VCI) is dedicated to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for Venezuelans and other Latin Americans integrating into Irish society.
We achieve this through three key pillars:
Integration
We empower our community members by providing essential information on employment, education, and government opportunities. To foster greater integration, we offer dedicated programs for both elderly and young people. These initiatives include free English classes, engaging activities, and cultural exchanges to enrich the lives of both Venezuelans and Irish people.
Cultural Celebration
We curate and participate in events that showcase the richness of Latin American culture, including music, food, and creativity.
Our Venezuelan Roots dance group is a cornerstone of the Venezuelan community in Ireland. Founded in 2017, its primary goal is to preserve and promote Venezuelan culture, traditions, and values through dance. By participating in various events and festivals, including the St. Patrick's Day parade.
Community Engagement
We actively participate in migrant community gatherings and spearhead impactful events like the "Latin American Christmas Market" "Bingo Familia" and "Family Day" to foster social interaction and community cohesion.
