Irish Culture
By showcasing Ireland's rich cultural heritage, we can reap long-term and positive benefits for Ireland's reputation and its relationship with the people of Latvia. We can also work to connect people with their Irish heritage.
Our culture
Ireland's culture is a unique national strength and a source of particularly strong links between Latvia and Ireland. It's one of our 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.
What we do
We're involved in a range of cultural activities, which raise awareness of Ireland and also enhance our ties with Latvia. We promote cultural relations through a number of initiatives:
