The rich heritage and vibrant cultures of Africa are taking centre stage at a unique event taking place in Ennis this weekend.
Held annually to mark the anniversary of the founding of the African Union in 1963, Africa Day recognises the diversity, achievements and cultural contributions of the continent’s 54 nations.
This year’s event, which takes place at CBS Primary School on Saturday from 1.30pm, is organised by Clare’s African community representatives in partnership with the Clare Immigrant Support Centre, the SICAP team of Clare Local Development Company and the Clare County Council Integration Team.
Joseph Idowu moved to Scariff from Africa just over a year ago and he’s told Clare FM’s Morning Focus his first Africa Day helped him to integrate here.
