Irish Culture
By showcasing Ireland's rich cultural heritage, we can reap long-term and positive benefits for Ireland's relationship with the people of Mexico and Latin America. We can also work to connect people with their Irish heritage.

Irish Culture
Our culture
Ireland's culture is a unique national strength and a source of particularly strong links between Mexico and Ireland. It's one of our greatest competitive advantages, acting as a "door opener" that converts into jobs, trade, investment and tourism. It's also our most effective way of connecting with the Irish community.
What we do
We're involved in a broad range of cultural activities, which raise awareness of Ireland and also enhance our ties with Mexico and our other countries of accreditation. We promote cultural relations through a number of initiatives:
Embassy cultural initiatives
For more information on the cultural initiatives which the Embassy supports throughout the year, including in the fields of music, literature, the spoken word, history or the visual arts, see the Embassy's news and events or get in contact with us to receive notifications about upcoming events.

Get involved in Irish community activities
Over the years, generations of Irish people have made invaluable contributions to all aspects of life in their new homes, in politics, the arts, business and sport. Their patriotism coexists with the contribution they have made in their new communities.
