Catch up with new episodes of the iCommunity Podcast

Across Divides is an exciting new podcast- a must listen for anyone with an interest in the voluntary and community sector or social enterprises.

NICVA and Ireland’s national association of charities, The Wheel, have launched the iCommunity hub to foster collaboration between community and voluntary groups across the island through a programme of events and discussions, including this podcast.

Throughout this series, we talk to guests from across the island’s regions and jurisdictions to explore the challenges faced by its communities. They come from a diversity of ages and traditions, abilities and genders, and take on issues like mental health, rural isolation, digital poverty, climate change, justice and equality, inclusion, and cross community work.

If you like what you hear we invite you to join us for the next iCommunity workshop, in person and online at NICVA Belfast on Wednesday 8 June. The topic for discussion is Digital Connectedness and Inclusion
