Civic & Social Organization - Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
Turas is both an Irish word meaning journey and an apt description of the objectives of the Turas project. Turas aims to support people from Protestant communities on their journey to the Irish language. Cairde Turas, which means friends of Turas, is a group of Turas learners and friends who have come together to support its aims, through providing practical support, fundraising and promoting its activities. Turas did not set out to be a cross-community project but since it started in 2012 it has evolved to become a shining example of what a true cross-community project should be. Equality and inclusiveness are at the core of the ethos of both Turas and Cairde Turas. Through our work we demonstrate what knowledge and respect can and does achieve: it enriches lives, softens attitudes, promotes knowledge and fosters friendships. Turas welcomes everyone to its classes and events, and membership of Cairde Turas is open to anyone who shares our ethos.
