Interculturalism promotes interaction, collaboration and exchange between people of different cultures, ethnicities or religions to develop understanding, respect and equality-of-outcome for all.
We believe that diversity can enrich society and it must be planned for through the development of intercultural policies and practices.
NYCI is committed to supporting youth organisations to achieve more equal, intercultural and inclusive communities.

This new resource is based on the experience of intercultural youth work in 7 individual youth organisations based in Dublin. The stories express how they have each, in their own way, approached the 12 aspects or steps to good intercultural youth work practice.  

Full details of our trainings are available in our training and development brochure, which is available at www.youth.ie/training. They are also listed below.   
All of these courses are also available on request.
