New Voices Stories of Belonging, Culture and Change in Galway :
From June 16th we kick off a week-long special edition of broadcasts. ‘New Voices’ celebrates the rich cultural tapestry of Galway through the stories of those who now call it home.
This series is a heartfelt celebration of the rich cultural tapestry that defines Galway today, told through the voices of those who now proudly call it home. Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing powerful stories of migration, identity, and belonging — offering listeners a fresh perspective on the many ways our city continues to grow, evolve, and thrive through diversity.
Tune in for a celebration of connection, culture, and identity — and discover the power of storytelling in building bridges across communities.
We hear from Elizabeth Campero Casey and Fabiola Heredia, two remarkable women from the Galway Mexican community. They open up about their personal journeys of moving to Ireland and adapting to life in Galway. From navigating cultural differences to preserving cherished traditions, their stories are filled with honesty, warmth, and resilience. They also highlight the vibrant contributions that the Mexican community is making to Galway’s cultural and social life — from colourful festivals and cuisine to shared community initiatives that bring people together.
Their experiences offer a unique and uplifting look at the ways in which cultural exchange and community spirit enrich all of our lives. Don’t miss this inspiring glimpse into how new voices are helping to shape Galway’s diverse and dynamic future.
