Dublin City Intercultural Language Service Dublin City Intercultural Language Service has been shortlisted for a Chambers Ireland Excellence in Local Government Award, following nomination by Dublin City Council Social Inclusion Unit. The Awards ceremony takes place in November. The purpose of the service is to provide English language, integration, vocational and social orientation, intercultural and active citizenship training to those in need. They are already the recipients of a Social Innovation award, which is enabling them to expand their service to South Dublin in the autumn. Pilot Activities Programme for parents and children availing of Capuchin Day Centre for Homeless People services We are working with the Dublin Regional Homeless Executive in collaboration with The North West Inner City Network to develop and deliver a pilot programme for parents and children who avail of the meal service provided in the Capuchin Day Centre. The proposed programme is in response to increasing numbers of families attending the meal service and the fact that many of them stay within the premises for some time after their meal. This is seen as an opportunity to provide activities for the children and chat with the parents providing them with information on other services/activities within the community and if requested, activities will be provided for the parents also. Intercultural Cities Dublin City became an Intercultural City in 2011. Intercultural Cities is a joint initiative between the Council of Europe and the European Commission to explore an intercultural approach to integration in communities with culturally diverse populations. We are working with the Head of the Programme to update our profile to give us a guide as to how to plan our work programme in this area for the coming year. Immigrant Council of Ireland The Immigrant Council of Ireland has received funding to support the development and implementation of Local Authority Migrant Integration strategies.

The GDBR is for all abilities and will offer a 60km route for those looking for a slightly less strenuous day in the saddle and a challenging 100km route for experienced riders. This is the 3rd year of the event, which is hoping to attract 6,000 participants in 2017 after the huge success of 2016 which had approximately 5000 cyclists. It will also be a flagship event in Ireland for the European Week of Sport. In the lead up to the event a number of Bike for Life training courses are being rolled out across the city. These programmes are aimed at novice cyclists who are looking to increase their fitness levels and gain confidence riding a bike in a fun and safe environment. The Bike for Life course culminates with each participant gaining entry to the GDBR free of charge. Beat the Street Beat the Street is an innovative walking and cycling initiative designed to get young people and communities moving by turning a town/city into a giant game. Last year 865 schools across the UK and Northern Ireland were involved in the programme which saw more than 300,000 people participating. From 13th September to 1st November 2017 Beat the Street is coming to Dublin and will be primarily rolled out in 51 schools across Dublin 8, 10 and 12. The aim of the programme is to inspire people to make small changes to improve their physical activity levels and health by encouraging walking or cycling as a way of getting from place to place e.g. to and from school. Across the Dublin 8, 10 and 12 communities extending into the Dublin 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 7 areas of the city there will be Beat Boxes that participants tap with cards or fobs in order to score points and win prizes. The further the distance travelled the more points accumulated. Prizes include All Ireland Hurling and Football tickets, World Cup Qualifier Moldova vs. Ireland Soccer tickets, vouchers for lifestyle sports up to €500 and other prizes, such as signed sports memorabilia. Beat the Street’s, fun competitive element not only allows schools to compete against each other, it also encourages the whole family and neighbourhood to get involved. Parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, streets etc can form teams, climb to the top of a leader board and be crowned winner of the competition. Cards/fobs for the programme will be available to the general public from early September 2017 in Dublin City Council libraries and Sport & Fitness Centres – specific locations are listed on www.beatthestreet.me/dublin. This initiative is being delivered by Intelligent Health (the creators of Beat the Street) on behalf of the Dublin City Sport & Wellbeing Partnership, Dublin City Council, Healthy Ireland, the Dormant Accounts Fund and Sport Ireland. For more information on Beat the Street, the Dublin City Engagement Manager, Helena McColgan can be contacted by email at [email protected] or by phone on 0044 7825 630 544.

Ha'Penny Bridge Ha'Penny Bridge or Half Penny Bridge crosses Liffey Street Lower to Merchants Arch. The elliptical arched metal bridge originally had a wooden gangway when it was constructed in 1816. The bridge has a 43 meter span, 3 meter width and is 3 meters above the water. Today 30,000 people walk across the bridge every day! Before the bridge was built people would take ferries across the river. The ferries were often overcrowded and sometimes even capsized. When the bridge was constructed the ferries became redundant. William Walsh was the former ferry owner and a city alderman. He was compensated with £3,000 and a lease on the bridge for 100 years. Walsh charged Dubliners Image By: HalfPennyBridge-Public Domain a ha'penny to cross the bridge, which was the same price he had charged Image Source: for a ferry ride. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha'penny_Bridge#mediaviewer/File:HalfPennyBridge.jpg The bridge gets its name from the ha'penny toll but officially it has been called the Liffey Bridge since 1922. It is also known as Triangle, Iron Bridge and Wellington. The bridge remained the only pedestrian bridge crossing the Liffey River until Millennium Bridge was built in 1999.

  • Theatre 471-002: Irish Theatre and Culture Rick Jones Griffith 303, Daily, 9-12 (Time Shared with THR 471.1) Summer I, 2016
    Theatre 471-002: Irish Theatre and Culture Rick Jones Griffith 303, Daily, 9-12 (time shared with THR 471.1) Summer I, 2016 Course overview: This course emphasizes the relationship between Irish theatre and the culture: that is, between theatre and other arts, between theatre and histori-political events, etc. The course will be taught in conjunction with THR 471.1: Irish Theatre and Drama. Since all students enrolled for one course must also enroll for the other, there may be some trade- offs of time between the two courses. This half of the sequence is primarily experiential, i.e. centered primarily on the fact of being in Ireland. While there is a clear academic intent to the course, the emphasis is on the act of engaging with Irish culture rather than on the articulation of that engagement. Prerequisites: Sophomore standing or above; ENG 132 and THR 162 with grades of C or better, or permission of instructor. Concurrent registration in THR 471.1. Course fees as determined by the Office of International Studies and Programs. Contacting me: Office: 217 Fine Arts, ext. 1290 (department office is room 212, ext. 4003). I will be available immediately following class every day, and by appointment. In Ireland, of course, other arrangements can/will be made. My cell phone # will be distributed in class (emergencies only while abroad, please). E-mail: My SFA e-mail address is [email protected]. This is my preferred means of contact (while in the US). I check e-mail at least three times a day. I do receive literally dozens of e-mail messages each day: please include the prefix “471” (e.g., “471: problems with paper”) in the subject line of all messages so I’ll recognize you immediately as a student in this class.

  • Here Ideas & Opportunities Meet!
    EVENTS PROGRAMME www.innovationdublin.ie Smart Economy - Smart City … INNOVATION DUBLIN 2009 This is the first year of INNOVATION DUBLIN and, delightedly, the response has been overwhelming. So many people and organisations responded to our ‘Call for Ideas’ in the Science Gallery in May 2009 that despite challenging times (or maybe because of them!) over 200 events have been organised all over Dublin to showcase their ideas. This is the aim of INNOVATION DUBLIN - to showcase, promote, encourage, inspire and stimulate innovation and creativity, because these are essential elements of our personal, social and economic development and vital to the city’s character and growth. The planned events range from business seminars and science demonstrations to storytelling, workshops, music concerts, and virtual games. The people involved include CEO’s of multi-national corporations, innovators and entrepreneurs in small and medium enterprises, educators, researchers and school children, artists and creators, citizens and communities. This is reflective of the eclectic mix of people and ideas that a city offers. Bringing this mix of people and ideas together is how INNOVATION DUBLIN helps to make Dublin a smarter city. Everyone is invited to participate in the events to celebrate innovation. The festival provides opportunities to promote enterprise, to learn and find out how things work, to network and collaborate, and to connect ideas with opportunities – that’s INNOVATION! The festival will build on Dublin’s reputation as a hub for innovation and creativity. Make sure to check out additional events during the week, give your feedback and inspire, innovate, and interact on www.innovationdublin.ie - Where Ideas & Opportunities Meet! John Tierney City Manager and Chair of the Creative Dublin Alliance Creative Dublin Alliance Cities are hubs of entrepreneurial activity and innovation that are vital to the evolution of the smart knowledge economy globally.

  • James Joyce, the City of Dublin, and the Imagined Tourist Experience
    The Prick with the Stick and the City that Hated then Loved Him: James Joyce, the City of Dublin, and the Imagined Tourist Experience An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Madeline Witek Thesis Advisor Dr. Patrick Collier 7~ Ball State University Muncie, Indiana August 2011 Expected Date of Graduation July 23, 2011 / Abstract James Joyce's novel Ulysses depicts the Dublin of 1904 in such detail that Joyce was famously quoted as saying that "if the city suddenly disappeared from the earth it could be reconstructed out of my book," and it is this city of fiction which literary tourists come to experience in Dublin today_ The phenomenon of the imaginary becoming heritage is unique to the literary tourist experience, and it is one that keeps the modern city of Dublin situated in the nostalgic past. Joyce harbored ambivalent feelings in his lifetime towards the city of his birth, and Dublin reciprocated until recent decades; now it embraces and exploits its most famous son. I examine the history of the complicated relationship between Joyce and Dublin as it plays out through the complex systems of literary tourism, ultimately exploring the opposing academic and non-academic enthusiast communities occurring within the city of Dublin today_ Acknowledgments First and foremost I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Patrick Collier for advising me throughout this project. His continued guidance, encouragement, and patience throughout this long and challenging project has been invaluable and is just a small fraction of the help and guidance I received during my time at Ball State.
