supporting cultural integration

Welcome to Cross Cultural Conversations

Our activities vary from English Language classes, group visits to events in Dublin and surrounds, social get-togethers and much more. We want to extend a hand of friendship to all our visitors seeking International Protection and show them that they are very welcome here.

IPAS centre targeted by protests opens doors to community

The Gateway Integration Centre in East Wall, which was the target of anti-immigration protests in Dublin two years ago, has opened its doors to highlight how it has been embraced by the community.

There are currently 450 people living in the Gateway Integration Centre in East Wall, including families, couples and single people.

Team-building initiatives like sports, English classes and other creative activities have helped create diversity and integration in the area.

Janeth Justiniano was one of the first residents of the East Wall IPAS centre and among those who faced protests when it was first established.
