How fast a decade of Twilight Community Group’s activities has passed
In 2014, we started a group to assist those we believe we could. Small, local, non-stressful, and an easy-going approach. Well, that changed quickly. The demand for our services grew and grew. Not just locally but across Europe and beyond! An idea for a hobby grew into a pan European organisation and a project that supports the up-skilling of all citizens of the surrounding region of South East of Ireland.
Our ten years of growth have seen Twilight Community develop connections and Friendship Agreements with Margny-lès-Compiègne and St-Germain-lès-Corbeil in France, Tiznit in Morocco, Beclean and Sighisoara in Romania, Malbork and Przemyśl in Poland, and Doylestown and Pennsylvania in the US.
It’s time to celebrate Twilight Community groups’ success across all the communities in our region to celebrate the work with our youth, young adults, Erasmus +, Seniors, and members of our society. The past decade has seen our youth and young adults travel across Europe to meet like minded groups and participate in the Erasmus + projects while welcoming European NGOs to Kilkenny. These exchanges are of incredible benefit to all our youth and young adults as we provide our leaders of the future the opportunity to grow and broaden their experience and develop their personality and the skill sets to succeed in their adult livelihoods. It has been a great source of comfort to see how our members have developed through their interactions locally, nationally and internationally with Twilight.
We now have a wonderful International Cultural Hub where individuals and community groups can avail of the services that are offered to men, women, boys and girls in all their diversity. These include specifically designed courses that receive funding from local, national and European governments. Such services are language support, digital media training, a community hall for gatherings and conferences for up to 50 people, a community library, board and classroom rooms available for all to hold their meetings at a centrally located venue with free car parking. This modern family orientated Hub also has an excellent sensory room for families and those with autism.
Sunday 10th of August, our 10 year anniversary barbecue, was a tremendous success with all the communities of city and county turning up to support Twilight. We would like to say a big thank you to Nicoleta and Liviu’s team’s contributions in making a day to enjoy and creating pleasant memories of the event. Food was supplied by The House of Pretzels and Elixir of Life, and a big thank you to the patrons who brought refreshments on the day
This was just the first of many community events to come for the tenth anniversary and Twilight looks forward to seeing you all again soon.
