All sessions will be held in Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre, Main Street, Limavady.
The Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Councillor Ivor Wallace, said: “Having witnessed the devastating events in Ukraine, it is essential that those who have had to flee their homes and resettle within the Causeway Coast and Glens area receive the support they need.
“These classes will help to equip individuals and families with language skills which will allow them to take the necessary steps to re-build their lives here.”
The classes are being delivered free as part of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council’s Good Relations Programme, which receives financial support from The Executive Office through the District Council Good Relations Programme.
