A series of talks for schoolchildren on the life and work of Pádraig Pearse has been put together by Seádna Mac Seoin.
With the 100 year commemoration of the 1916 Easter Rising drawing closer, the school children will hear about aspects of Pádraig Pearse’s life. The talk is directed towards any year in a Gaelcholáiste, and fifth and sixth classes in Gaelscoileanna. The details of the talks can be agreed with the school authority as would be appropriate.
The aim of the talk is:
• To give background and context to the next generation as to why Gaeilge is taught in the education system
• To have the students understand why Gaeilge is taught in state schools
• To give insight into Athbheochan na Gaeilge (1876 – 1916), and the part Pádraig Peasrse’s took in it
• Using Gaeilge and English sources, the students will see the history through a prism of Gaeilge
• The students will come to a better understanding of the work and mind of Pearse, and the way Pearse turned and changed politics from 1912 onwards, before he found an interest in the military heritage
• They will receive a wider knowledge on history of Gaeilge and history of the country during that period.
More information is available from seadnamacs@gmail.com or 086 850 0388. It is intended for the talks to occur from January 2015 onwards. The talks were discsussed with COGG, who are happy to support them while the demand is there.
Tá sraith cainteanna curtha le chéile ag Séadna Mac Seoin do dhaltaí scoile faoi shaol agus saothaor Phádraic Mhic Phiarais.
Agus comóradh céad bliain Éirí Amach na Cásca 1916 ag druidim linn, cluinfidh na mic léinn faoi ghnéithe de shaol Phádraic Mhic Phiarais. Tá an chaint dírithe ar rang ar bith sna Gaelcholáistí, ranganna a cúig agus a sé sna Gaelscoileanna. D’fhéadfainn na mionsonraí a aontú le húdaráis na scoile mar is cuí.
Is í aidhm na cainte:
• cúlra agus comhthéacs ina bhfuil an Ghaeilge á múineadh sa chóras oideachais a chur ar fáil do ghlúin úr,
• go dtuigfidh mic léinn an fáth go bhfuil Gaeilge á múineadh i scoileanna an stáit.
• léargas ar Athbheochan na Gaeilge (1876-1916) agus ar pháirt Phádraic Mhic Phiarais sa ghluaiseacht sin athabhairt
• Ag tarraingt ar fhoinsí Gaeilge agus Béarla, feicfidh mic léinn an stair trí phriosma na Gaeilge
• Tiocfaidh mic léinn ar thuiscint níos fearr ar obair is ar intinn an Phiarsaigh, agus an chúis ar iompaigh Pádraic Mac Piarais ar an bpolaitíocht ó 1912 ar aghaidh, sular chuir sé spéis san oidhreacht mhíleata.
• Gheofar eolas níos iomláine ar stair na Gaeilge is stair na tíre sa tréimhse sin
