Sarah McHugh Manager of Museum Services at Fermanagh County Museum said:
"These trails and cultural activities are a wonderful way for people who have recently moved to Fermanagh to learn a little about the history and culture and what makes local people tick. On the other hand, local people can learn a little more about the migrant workers who have made their way to this county. My hope is that new friendships are created as everyone meets together and learns a little more about each other."
Davy Kettyles of the Trade Union Diversity Project said:
"This project is an ideal way of exploding many myths about migrant communities and of giving migrants an insight into the people of Fermanagh. I hope that this is the beginning of many more partnerships with Fermanagh County Museum."
Anyone interested in participating on any of the above trails should contact Davy or Dita at 028 6632 2379.
The Project has been funded by the Fermanagh Local Strategy Partnership through the EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation.
