Description

The Ukrainian Voices in Ireland podcast shares stories from the Ukranian community and helps to build communication with Ireland’s new residents. The podcast gives Ireland’s newest community, Ukrainian refugees, a voice and a chance to introduce themselves to the people of Ireland. With so many arrivals, spread so widely across the country, there’s been a lack of a coherent narrative or voices from the newest residents of Ireland. Ireland’s Classic Hits Radio wants to play its part in welcoming the newest members of Ireland’s community and giving them a voice and an opportunity to speak for themselves and introduce themselves to a wider Irish audience.
