What We Do

Community

We build open collaboration with Mayo County Council, local Irish communities and other nationalities. We support Latvians in Ireland with social and practical matters, fostering successful integration and a cohesive, inclusive society. Our assistance is open to anyone who needs it — regardless of nationality, religion, or any other background.

Cultural Exchange

We bring Latvian cultural heritage to international audiences. Our creative projects include the trilingual poetry anthology Balsis uz tilta / Voices on the Bridge / Glórtha ar an nDroichead, the album Angels in Your Eyes featuring Gunars Meijers' songs in English, and bilingual concerts where Latvian songs are performed in both languages.

Business Ties

In partnership with the Irish-Latvian Chamber of Commerce (ILCC) and the Embassy of Latvia in Ireland, we help Latvian businesses enter Irish regional markets. At our Regional Days events, Latvian entrepreneurs met with Mayo County Council and Irish business representatives — including Foynes Harbour, Dublin Port, Big Red Barn (BRB) and Knock Airport — building direct business connections.

Integration

Together with Daugavpils University, Kuldīga Technical College, Castlebar College, the University of Limerick, Sligo ATU, St. Angela's College and Galway ATU, we build academic and professional bridges between Latvia and Ireland. We facilitate Latvian municipal exchange visits to Ireland — a dialogue of experience between local governments of both countries and meetings with the diaspora.
