Laois people asked to complete survey on immigration and integration as part of Anti-Rumours project

Laois Integration Network recently launched a campaign about diversity in Ireland, known as the ‘Anti-Rumours’ project. 

The Anti-Rumours Project which was first designed by the City of Barcelona in 2010 and is now an EU wide project that sets out to dispel the widespread myths and misconceptions around the topic of immigration and migrant integration by providing evidence-based answers and utilising social networks to spread the message of the campaign.

The campaign was first rolled out in Limerick in 2014 by migrant support organisation, Doras and now Laois Integration Network has designed a survey which focuses specifically on county Laois.

Karen McHugh, Chairperson of Laois Integration Network encouraged all the people of Laois to complete the survey.

"We want the people of Laois to tell us their views about immigration and migration integration. We passionately believe in Laois Integration Network that it is only through active listening, effective two-way communications and integration that it will be possible for people throughout Laois to feel part of the Laois community," she stated. 

"This survey will help us ascertain the current views of people living in Laois about immigration and migrant integration and dispel any myths with evidence based answers," commented Ms McHugh.  

The survey can be accessed on all social media ‘Laois Integration Network’ pages, including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
