The 6th episode of The New Residents Podcast covers the ways Ukrainians can assimilate in Kerry and connect with local communities despite the language barrier.
We talk about the culture of volunteering in Ireland. Our guest Oksana Tabaluk a community worker with NEWKD tells us about her volunteering project - the Ukrainian school in Tralee, and how that experience helped her to settle into Kerry.
In the second part of our podcast Radio Kerry's David Nelligan talks about different sports in Ireland and Kerry's love of the GAA.
He paints a great picture of the beautiful and shares his memories of growing up in a house with an 8 time all Ireland winner- His Dad Charlie Nelligan. He explains the rules of Gaelic football, and invites Ukrainian newcomers to participate in local sports events.
The New Residents podcast is a fortnightly series produced by Radio Kerry with the help of NEWKD and the Tralee International Resource Centre.
It aims to provide new residents to the county with information, advice and local knowledge in their own language, to help them adapt to their new home.
The New Residents Podcast is available on the podcast page of RadioKerry.ie and Spotify, and is funded by Coimisiún na Meán with the Television Licence Fee.
