Our Impact
Explore the work of The Open Community and learn how community welcome initiatives and labour mobility pathways for refugees have a positive impact on individuals, communities, and employers across Ireland.
Overview
The scope of our work extends from local welcome to global impact. Through EU-funded projects, we contribute to innovative research and the development of best practice at European level. Our implementation programmes allow us to put this learning into practice in communities across Ireland. Community engagement is at the heart of what we do. We provide training, support, and resources for anyone who wants to play a role in welcoming newcomers to Ireland
