Horn of Africa People's Aid NI will host the first-ever workshops about International Decade for People of African Descent in Northern Ireland.
The key initiative of the workshops is to increase awareness of the people of African descent living in Northern Ireland and discuss solutions to address the racial discrimination they face.
The aim of these workshops is to host awareness-raising events for people of African descent and highlight the roles they have played during the History of Belfast up until the present day.
The event will foster good relations and aid in integration with local communities by providing samples of culture from both local and African communities to aid in the acceptance of each other.
