This initiative was developed on request of different groups working closely with the Kildare Community Partnership such as Kildare EU Club, Newbridge Asylum Seekers Support Group and K.N.I.T. project (Kildare, Newbridge Interculturalism Today Project). However the event was open to any public or private bodies and individuals from County Kildare .
