Kildare EU Club operates on a very flexible basis. Skills of each member are valued and supported. Our activities are based on enthusiasm and volunteerism of the members. 

The activities of KEUC vary. Here are some of the activities we were engaged in:

Family Fun Day 

Increasing number of young families inspired us to organize the Family Fun Day which was held in December 2009. It was a very nice event which gathered around 40 kids and adults. The folk ensemble Ostroha (Slovak) created the unique atmosphere as well as the Devil 1 (Mato), Devil 2 (Tony), Angel (Sergej) and the Santa. It was coordinated by Martin Bucek and his family. Media EX produced a DVD for all participants. This event was supported by County Kildare Leader Partnership.

Welcome to Kildare Information Guide 

Welcome to Kildare Information Guide was an initial activity in 2006. The founders felt a need to produce guide for newcomers to County Kildare. This guide included useful contact details and information how to survive, find a job and educate yourself in Co. Kildare. This guide was printed in 5 different languages to eliminate language barriers. It was launched in Naas Library by Brian Killoran from Migrant Council of Ireland.

Go for vote campaign

Even if we have been new citizens in Ireland we have a right to take part in the local elections. We found important to inform people abut their right and to acknowledge them about the process how to vote and in cooperation with KNIT Project and KTA Ltd. we produced and disseminated the Go For Vote Guide. Go For Vote became a campaign and we took a part on the Active Citizenship Training organized in Naas. Campaign coordinator on behalf of KEUC was Eliska.

Qualification Recognition

We have realized that our qualification is hardly recognized by the employers or the educational bodies in Ireland. Therefor we organized 3 sessions in different towns to inform people about the process of qualification recognition. Qualification recognition authority delivered very helpful general presentation and one-to-one sessions. This project was supported by County Kildare Leader Partnership and coordinated by Eliska.

Participants got the chance to understand the Taxation rules, SRCOP, Tax Credits and relevant forms. This project was coordinated by Eliska and was presented by Laco Zimanyi.
