About Ukranian Voices From Ireland
From the publisher's feed
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.
