Intercultural Development Programme

The NEIC Intercultural Development Programme aims to harness the rich diversity of the area and the support the unique needs of ethnic minorities in our community. Through partnerships with local groups and organisations, the programme promotes intercultural understanding, addresses challenges faced by minority groups, and advocates for better representation and inclusion.

The Intercultural Development Programme focuses on a wide range of issues including improving access to information, tackling racial discrimination, capacity building, and enhancing intercultural competence. Additionally, this programme addresses issues affecting ethnic minority youths and works towards increasing intercultural representation in local bodies and organisations. 

A process is underway since August 2024 to recruit an NEIC Intercultural Development Coordinator and team.
