Derry or Londonderry, this city which has been broken up by religion and politics is now observing the phenomenon of diversity and its gradual transformation into a metropolis of many faces. This transformation has brought together a group of foreign individuals who have joined forces to bring forth the stories that will be transforming the troubled history that has haunted Derry.
For the first time ever there is an editorial desk composed by immigrant writers in Northern Ireland. “the Global Village ” aims to promote culture and to be an icon in the evolution of journalism within the city as well, its writers will be able to transmit the development and achievements between nationals and non nationals within our community. Furthermore, articles will be written in different languages to assist readers who still face difficulties with English to become aware of the evolving events in the city.
The editorial desk is composed of trained journalists and scholars in the different fields. Melvin A. Flores Yanes Senior editor(Honduran National,) Investigative journalist, Juliana Resende Editor(Brazilian), experienced practising journalist and current postgraduate at the University of Ulster), Chaminda Weerawarhana Assistant editor (PhD candidate in Peace & Conflict Studies) Abby Oliveira (writer and performer based in Derry, of Cape Verdean descent).
Our anticipation is that this articles will provide the readers with a varied and comprehensive account of the road to cultural diversity, and will confront the questions that many of us have regarding the evolution of diversity in this country.
