Hard Gospel Intercultural Training
Four regional intercultural training days, organised by the Hard Gospel Project and led by a leading anti-racism activist Benedicta Attoh, will take place through November and December for church members looking to deal positively with issues of racism and interculturalism.The training days take place on successive Saturdays, from 10:00am to 4:30pm in the following locations:
SATURDAY 15TH NOVEMBER
(CALRY PARISH CHURCH, CO SLIGO)
SATURDAY 22ND NOVEMBER

SATURDAY 29TH NOVEMBER
(ST ANDREW'S PARISH CENTRE, LUCAN, CO DUBLIN)
SATURDAY 6TH DECEMBER

The training days are designed to help church members acquire the necessary awareness to understand and meet the challenges associated with living and working in an ethnically diverse society, especially during a period of economic downturn. They will also provide information on the processes and manifestations of racism (individual and institutional) and the strategies to deal with it.
While there is no cost for participants, space is limited, therefore to sign-up either go to www.hardgospel.net to sign-up online or write to ‘The Hard Gospel Project, Church of Ireland House, Church Avenue, Dublin 6' and register which training day you wish to attend.
The Hard Gospel Intercultural Training takes place as part of the 2008 European Year of Intercultural Dialogue.
