European Week Against Racism - Art/Short Stories Competition Presentation of Prizes

On Friday 15th April at 3.00 pm in the Council Chamber, Tallaght, Mayor Sarah Holland will present the winners of the European Week against Racism Competition with their prizes.

The idea behind this competition was to ask children, young people and adults living here in South Dublin County to convey their own personal message against racism. There were over 150 entries for the competition.

One of the main objectives of the Council is to facilitate initiatives to promote integration in the county. A willingness to learn about different cultures and to communicate with others is the key to a successful, fair and open society. The number of entries we received from the competition shows that people living in South Dublin believe that there is no place for Racism here.

Here in South Dublin County we want to continue developing an inclusive county where everybody has the opportunity to participate and realise their true potential.
