The WLR FM 'International Series' begins this week on 'Déise Today'.
This special 12-week series will hear from different international voices who now call Waterford home.
Members of the WLR News and Current Affairs team have been chatting with representatives of different groups in Waterford, discussing what they like about the Déise, differences between Ireland and their home country, and some of the challenges they have faced.
As part of the series, our team have been attending specific events which these groups organise to give a flavour of their activities.
Osas Iyamu Usideme from Nigeria will feature in our series.
Through insightful interviews, personal narratives, and cultural explorations, we will delve into the unique challenges, triumphs, and traditions that define the lives of people from various countries and backgrounds in Waterford.
We will hear from international students, expatriates, activists, artists, and everyday individuals whose lives and stories reflect the city and county of Waterford.
Our series begins this Thursday January 18th with WLR's Kyle Butler chatting with members of the Indian community in Waterford.
Future episodes will include countries including the Philippines, Ukraine, and Nigeria.
You can listen to these programmes on air or through the 'Listen Back' section on wlrfm.com
The International Series on WLR FM is funded by Coimisiún na Meán with the support of the television licence fee.
