Welcome to Multicultural Employee Network of UCD (MENU)

Our aim is to provide a relaxed forum that brings together members of the multicultural UCD community to support each other, exchange experiences and ideas and promote multicultural awareness in UCD.

5th Anniversary

As we are approaching our 5th anniversary in less than two months, we’d like to share with you more about our plans for that special occasion.

We invited Mayumi Nakabayashi, an amazing environmental artist who has created artwork with over 2000 people in the country and abroad. Her passion is co-creation with all creatures on earth. At this short workshop Mayumi will lead us to design a symbolic artwork using natural materials. We’d like this composition to be an expression of our unity in diversity representing the inclusive nature of our great MENU community. You can read more about Mayumi work in her Instagram pagehttps://www.instagram.com/mayuminakabayashi/

This promises to be a wonderful time with delicious food- some of it prepared by our members- and music, so if you don’t want to miss it please register here.

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, 7th December in the UCD Global Lounge.

MENU Cafe Collection of Recipes

MENU Café is a multicultural Recipe Collection curated by MENU and sponsored by the UCD Equality Diversity and Inclusion Unit. All the recipes were submitted by the MENU members from their personal collections. We encourage you to try them and to support these charities: the Irish Red Cross to support their Ukraine Crisis Appeal: https://www.redcross.ie and/or to the Irish Refugee Council: https://www.irishrefugeecouncil.ie/

International Women's Day

For International Women's Day 2022 MENU recorded a video highlighting its values: Justice, Dignity, Hope, Equality, Collaboration, Tenacity, Appreciation, Respect, Empathy, Forgiveness. We asked our members to record themselves in their native languages. Enjoy!

As it is tradition, on June 10th, MENU was part of UCD Festival. This year we proposed our visitors to make a collaborative collage with their own personal drawings and fill out giant UCD letters.
