More details on the Teacht Aniar campaign

An Scoil scairte
~
The hedge School

When Irish people lost their language, they similtaneously lost access to a living repository of ancestral knowledge and skills.

There is an urgent need to regain these skills and build resiliance for a future of great change and the language provides a way back.

At Wild Irish, we collaborate with master crafts people, combining the Irish language with the learning of cultural traditions with powerful results.

The re-aquainting of our people to the language and the land in this way will create the strong collective will needed to preserve our land and reverse the destruction of it.

The Broader Need

There is a huge desire among Irish people to reclaim their native language but outside out the country’s few Gaeltachts very few immersive opportunities exist.

We are currently limited to running weekend courses but with the realiasation of Teacht Aniar (Resiliance) we can offer the immersive experience, that is so desparately sought by would Irish speakers.

For the language to survive and grow, it must be fostered in pockets outside of the Gaeltacht. The Government has recognised this and have introduced significant funding for the creation of Irish lanague centres outside the Gaeltacht.

Seo cuireadh.

Go dtí an té atá ag iarraidh a chuid Gaeilge a usáid ach nár tháinig chuici fós.

Más rud é gur tháinig sé ó droch mhúinteoir, creideamh bréagach gur teanga míúsáideach í nó náire ó thaobh caighdeán de; cuireann na constaic seo isteach orainn maidir léi a usáid, cé go bhfuil dhá bhliain déag caite againn í a fhoglaim. 

'Sé príomhaidhm an Díseart Fhián Gaelach ná Gaeilge a shaorú ón seomra ranga. Chun í a thógaint amuigh faoin aer úr. Chun beocht an teanga a ligint amach asat; creidimid go gcabhraíonn sé bheith foghlaimthe le linn an obair.

Mar an balla a chuireann bac le sruth on Gaeilge, ná an balla a chuireann bac ar an nasc leis an nádúr.

Is turas fada é an turas filleadh ar ár ndúchas. Tar linn is tógfaimid an céad céim le chéile.

Thug sibh sos dúinn ón 'breithiúnas' an saol nua-aimsireatha. D'oscail mo croí, thosaigh mé ag gáire mar garsún beag, ag canadh. Ní féidir liom cur trasna i bhfocail cé chomh luachmhar a bhí an taithí sin dom, an faoiseamh a mhothaigh mé agus an meáchain a bhí togtha as mo ghuailainn.

Bhí mé i mo shuigh in aice leis an fharraige inné, comh sásta is comh ciúin leis an saol agus ansin, tháinig an smaointe - ba chor dom scríobh síos, le haighaidh daoine eile, ceard atá ar shuil leis an wildirishretreats - agus an focail amhain a bhí ag bualadh ar mo chluasa ná an grá - tá sé really and truly about love.
