Buntáiste Breise na Gaeilge on the road again!
September 21, 2011
Calling all schools in Leitrim, Monaghan, Limerick and Waterford!! Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge are soon to organise a seminar in your area on the Irish language and careers.
Once again this year Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge will host a series of seminars titled Buntáiste Breise na Gaeilge all over Ireland. As the Leaving Cert class of 2011 prepare to begin their college courses soon, it is apt that the dates and venues of Buntáiste Breise na Gaeilge are now being announced. Senior cycle students in secondary schools will be given the opportunity to attend seminars in Carrick-on-Shannon on 11th October, in Carrickmacross on 12th October, in Limerick on 22nd November and in Co. Waterford on 23rd November.
Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge have organised many of these seminar all over the country, with seminars taking place in Killarney, Dublin, Galway, Cork, Carlow, Castlebar, Belfast, Letterkenny, and Tullamore to date.
‘The Added Advantage of Irish’ is the theme of the seminar, and guest speakers and well-known personalities will speak on the advantages which the Irish language has afforded them in their chosen careers.
As part of the seminars, questions from the students are welcomed, which give rise to lively debate about such subjects as the future of the language, Gaeltacht status, Irish as a compulsory subject, Irish at third level, and the Government’s support for the language.
Representatives from third level institutions attend with exhibition stands, to inform students of the various Irish language courses available to them after they leave school.
Students are welcome to attend these free events, but schools must register in advance. Further information: http://www.gaelport.com/bbnag
