<span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Common Ground: Ireland and the EU is a new multimedia exhibition exploring how Ireland's membership of the European Union has shaped the country socially, culturally and economically over the past few decades. The exhibition also looks at the impact Ireland has had across Europe, telling stories of migration, opportunity, equality, education and cultural exchange through immersive displays and personal stories.</span>

&nbsp;

</div>
<div>
<p class="gb-text gb-text-ff8a25f5">Ireland joined the European Economic Community (EEC) – as the EU was then known – on January 1, 1973, after a referendum endorsed by 83% of voters. It was then among the poorest and most underdeveloped countries in western Europe, with a population just over half of its current size.

Ireland’s accession proved to be the most consequential economic milestone in the half century since Irish independence, but it also set in motion far-reaching social and cultural change. EU legislation has driven improvements in workers’ rights, for example, and set binding targets for climate action. Irish people have studied and built new lives across Europe, while many Europeans have since made their homes here in Ireland.

As Ireland assumes the EU presidency in 2026, this new multimedia exhibition explores how a small island nation has extended its influence across Europe, and how Europe, in turn, has profoundly shaped modern Ireland.</p>

The Buddha is renowned as the embodiment of wisdom and love. He also represents the fullest flowering of human potential.

On this course they'll be studying the Buddha’s words on metta – loving-kindness – and how they point out a path to realise this potential. They'll be putting his teachings into practice starting with identifying more skillful ways of living; cultivating a vigorous imaginative identification with others; and freeing the mind through the development of wisdom.

The course will include an introduction to the metta-bhavana (development of loving-kindness meditation) and is suitable for newcomers as well as people who wish to intensify their practice and glean new insights.

The course is based upon Sangharakshita’s book <em>Living With Kindness</em> and you will be provided with a copy of the book as part of the course. You will receive the book on the first night of the course.
