Leabharlann
Bhuail Ainle Ó Cearailláin agus Stiofán Ó Luachráin isteach sa scoil inniu ag labhairt lenár ndaltaí faoi ceardlann iriseoireachta a mbeidh ag titim amach sa Chultúrlann an tseachtain seo chugainn! Bhí muid ag labhairt faoi thábhacht na hiriseoireachta in áiteanna cosúil leis an Phalaistín agus inár gceantracha féin le peirspictíocht daoine atá faoi chois a léiriú. Labhair Ainle agus Stiofán linn faoin sean dóigh a ba ghnáth le daoine páipéar nuachtáin a dhéanamh sula raibh na modhanna digiteacha againn, agus faoi ‘zines’, modh neamhspleách le smaointe agus scéalta a scaipeadh.
Tá Ainle agus Stiofán ag iarraidh go mbeidh ár daltaí ag cruthú ‘zine’ do scríbhneoireacht, grianghrafadóireacht nó cartún bunaithe ar ábhar atá tábhachtach dóigh. Bhí ár ndaltaí ar bís ag léiriú roinnt toipicí mar shampla: Bród, an Ghaeilge, agus leabhair is fearr s’acu. Ní thig linn fanacht le feiceáil cad é a cruthaíonn siad le chéile.
