âLife happens between our plans,â says Elena Cristofanon, whose latest project,
Contatto, shares the words and stories of a new generation of artists in Ireland. For centuries, the Irish experience of multiculturalism mostly took place abroad. Sometimes we assimilated; on other occasions we established deliberately green enclaves. But it has never been binary: all contact generates change, from subtle to seismic.
Similarly, culture is never static. Even were it possible (never mind anything approaching desirable) to remain culturally isolated, people, custom and belief evolve and shift. Each generation learns from and reacts to the ones that came before, a process that is enriched by different viewpoints, not least because they enable one to see life from new angles.
Bunscoil Loreto has become the first primary school to be awarded School of Sanctuary status.
Over the past year, the school was assessed by a team from Places of Sanctuary Ireland and was judged to be outstanding in terms of welcoming and including young people from diverse backgrounds and for spreading the message of sanctuary though the community.
Schools of Sanctuary coordinator Homayoon Shirzad said: Bunscoil Loreto is model to other primary schools in its outstanding and highly creative work to welcome and support children from multiple nationalities that have joined the school and to help build brides of understanding across society.
