Irish Culture

‌

The Embassy is proud to support Irish Culture and widen awareness of Irish music, dance and literature in Kenya.

Our Culture

Ireland's culture is a unique national strength. It's one of your greatest competitive advantages, acting as a "door opener" that converts into jobs, trade, investment and tourism. It's also our most effective way of connecting with the Irish community abroad.

What we do

We're involved in a broad range of cultural activities, which raise awareness of Ireland and also enhance our ties with Kenya. We promote cultural relations through a number of initiatives. Please see our news and events page for upcoming cultural activities.
