Multi-Cultural Play Resources for Communities

Thirty five community groups acrossxa0Northern Irelandxa0will be receiving extraxa0toys, books and games through an initiative of the Housing Executive.

The NIHE Multi-Cultural resource pack.

Supporting International Day of Peace, thexa0projectxa0focuses onxa0the early years sector and aims to help build good race relations. 35 multi cultural resource packs are being distributed though the Housing Community Network.

Linda Hutchinson,xa0Race Relations Officerxa0in the Housing Executive explained:xa0“We recognise that our communities are adapting to the changing diversity inxa0Northern Irelandxa0and we want to support them in a range of ways. Most people from abroad are living in the private rented sector but some of these properties are in Housing Executive areas so we work with our Housing Community Network to providexa0a welcoming environment for all.

“Even in areas where very few people from minority ethnicxa0backgrounds currently live, the resources will provide a valuable addition toxa0culturalxa0understandingxa0and canxa0helpxa0build respect for all ways of life. These resources can give the message, even to very young children, that everyone is part of our community and thatxa0Northern Irelandxa0is a culturally diverse society.”

The resource packs are being distributedxa0by the Housing Community Network.
