Across the Ballyhoura region, people are building new connections, rebuilding their lives, and finding a sense of home — supported by shared European values of solidarity, inclusion, and community resilience.

This documentary highlights how EU-supported programmes, particularly the Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP), empower local organisations to respond to emerging needs and support the integration of newly arrived Ukrainians in the Ballyhoura region.

Filmed across Charleville, Kilmallock, Bruff, and surrounding communities, the documentary features the voices of newly arrived Ukrainians, long-standing local residents, volunteers, partner organisations, and Ballyhoura Development staff. 

This documentary is supported by the Communicating Europe Initiative and the Department of Foreign Affairs.
