A project to promote peace has been embraced by a community of new arrivals to Kilkenny.
The city’s settling-in Ukrainian community has joined with those newly living here who have applied for international protection in Ireland, as well as locals, to take part in the One Million Stars project.
Well established in Kilkenny, Amber’s One Million Stars Ireland project is an inclusive community arts project connecting communities across Ireland in solidarity against domestic, sexual and gender-based violence.
During July a series of workshops were held for people from the new communities and many different cultural backgrounds at St Canice’s neighbourhood hall.
The workshops created a safe space where participants connected through the artwork regardless of race, culture and gender.
They worked towards a shared goal, with each hand-woven star representing a symbol of solidarity against domestic, sexual and gender based violence.
