The Trade Union Diversity Project is an interesting project which aims to bring together the various ethnic groups in Fermanagh by enabling them to share the 'migrant' experience, through historic tours and talks.
The programme is being delivered by Fermanagh County Museum which, over the past 10 years, has developed a variety of highly successful cultural events, education programmes and outreach projects.
