Online lecture: History of Cantonese Diaspora in Ireland / 免費網上講座︰粵裔愛爾蘭-歷史新尋

Long before the Celtic Tiger immigration bloom, the first Cantonese migrants, mostly originating from Hong Kong, moved to Ireland in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Over the years, the profile of Cantonese migrants has evolved - from mostly business owners in catering services to international students to critical skill professionals, in addition to second-generation Cantonese immigrants whose Ireland is their home. An engaging online event exploring the Cantonese diaspora in Ireland. This event will delve into the experiences, challenges, and contributions of the Cantonese-speaking community in Ireland, from the 1950s to the present. Hear personal stories, cultural insights, and academic perspectives from our speaker Alice Chau - producer and presenter of the Asian Talents radio show NearFM. Whether you are part of the diaspora, interested in multicultural studies, or simply curious about the Cantonese community's impact in Ireland, this event will be both educational and entertaining.

Lecture will be conducted in English.

喺愛爾蘭經濟起飛之前，粵移民已經嚟到愛爾蘭。第一批粵移民，大部分都係嚟自香港，佢哋於1950年代末至1960年代初移居愛爾蘭。多年嚟，粵移民背景有所演變 - 由大部分以從事餐飲服務為主，到留學生，再到專業技術人士，而粵移民二代更以愛爾蘭為家，成為現代愛爾蘭社會嘅重要一員。

呢個網上講座，將會帶領大家一齊探索認識喺愛爾蘭聚居嘅粵裔人。活動將會深入探討由1950年代到而家，愛爾蘭嘅粵語社羣嘅經歷、挑戰同貢獻。我哋可以一齊聽吓講者Alice (愛爾蘭電台NearFM 亞洲愛才電台節目嘅製作人同主持人) 嘅個人故事、文化見解同學術觀點。無論你係外籍人士、對多元文化研究有興趣，定係只係好奇粵裔對愛爾蘭嘅影響，呢個教育同娛樂並重嘅活動都會適合你，千祈唔好錯過。
