We attempt to create a positive attitude towards all minority groups by way of our multi-cultural events to ensure that young people of this country grow up with a tolerant attitude towards people with different backgrounds.

The main aims of SARI are:

i) To create an awareness of the problems of racism and xenophobia in Ireland today and to highlight the benefits of integrating the new cultures that are becoming part of life in Ireland today.

ii) To use sport and cultural events to bring together people from different cultures and backgrounds.

iii) To promote a positive attitude towards people from different ethnic backgrounds.

iv) To increase the discussion and debate about racism, discrimination and xenophobia.

On previous occasions SARI loked for ridiclious sums of money from people who wanted to set up stalls. I seriously wonder how representative this organistion is.

Ask Some Questions

Mon Sep 13, 2004 19:18

Ask what % of their funding goes on administration and salaries. How is SARI structured? Does it have a democratic decision making process? How do you join it? Who decides how the money is spent?
