The Intercultural Platform is committed to creating the conditions for a more inclusive, equal and anti-racist society. We are a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) that promotes human rights and challenges discrimination and racism. We support people and communities interested in working towards inclusion and equality in Donegal. We were founded in 2009 and became a company in March of 2021 – (company limited by guarantee is a not-for-profit company in Irish law). Were were successful in winning core funding from the Department of Rural and Community Development in the summer of 2021 and we opened our new intercultural offices in Letterkenny in January 2022. We are now expanding our work in supporting and advocating on behalf of members of Black and Minority Ethnic communities experiencing poverty, exclusion and racism and creating the conditions for progressive social change. In September 2022 we opened our new Intercultural Hub next door to the project office as a venue for workshops, meetings and community development work engaging the Black and Minority Ethnic communities in Letterkenny.
