15 Apr 2024

Comhp谩irt铆ocht phobail is ea Barr na gCnoc a bhunaigh an tOllamh P谩draig 脫 Mach谩in (Ionad na Gaeilge Labhartha, Col谩iste na hOllscoile, Corcaigh) i bp谩irt le Phil O鈥橣lynn, Pr铆omhoide, agus foireann Chol谩iste Phobail Thraolaigh Mhic Shuibhne, Cnoc na hAoine, Corcaigh. Cumasc idir dualgas UCC i leith na p谩irt铆ochta pobail agus an dualgas um thaighde agus teagasc is ea Barr na gCnoc. Cuireann an tionscnamh seo acmhainn铆 acad煤la, daonna agus praitici煤la sa Ghaeilge ar f谩il ar mhaithe leis an bpobal.

脕ir铆tear Cnoc na hAoine ar cheann de s茅 cinn de Comharsanachta铆 Foghlama i gCathair Chorca铆. Chun ceili煤radh a dh茅anamh ar Sheachtain na Foghlama Saoil, d鈥檈agraigh Barr na gCnoc tr铆 贸c谩id i nGaelchol谩iste Mhic Shuibhne chun teanga agus cult煤r na Gaeilge a chur chun cinn.

Cuireadh 鈥業rish for the Terrified鈥� ar si煤l D茅 C茅adaoin an 10煤 Aibre谩n. 脫c谩id uair a鈥� chloig ab ea 铆 seo d鈥檃oinne a raibh ceann f茅 air n贸 uirthi i leith na teangan. An tOllamh P谩draig 脫 Mach谩in agus ochtar mac l茅inn de chuid Chol谩iste na hOllscoile, Corcaigh, a chabhraigh san 贸c谩id seo agus a thacaigh leis an bpobal 谩iti煤il d贸thaint Ghaeilge a shealbh煤 is a chuirfeadh ar a gcumas l贸n a ord煤. Bh铆 l贸n ar f谩il do gach aoinne ina dhiaidh sin, rud a thug deis dosna foghlaimeoir铆 a gcuid Gaeilge a chleachtadh.

D茅 hAoine an 12 Aibre谩n chas an pobal ar an nGaelchol谩iste ar铆s chun C茅il铆 M贸r Bharr na gCnoc a bhlaiseadh. Chuaigh foireann teagaisc na scoile i bp谩irt leo. Agus Banna m贸r C茅il铆 ag seimnt, thapa铆odar an deis chun feabhas a chur ar a gcumas rince,

Tharla an tr铆煤 贸c谩id an Luan d谩r gcionn nuair a bh铆 deis ag an bpobal triail a bhaint as buille a bhualadh ar chraiceann gabhair, ceol a bhaint as an mbodhr谩n agus an teaspach a bhaint d铆obh f茅in.

Barr na gCnoc is a community partnership co-ordinated by Professor P谩draig 脫 Mach谩in, Ionad na Gaeilge Labhartha, 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork, with staff in Terence MacSweeney Community College, Knocknaheeny led by Principal, Phil O鈥橣lynn.  It marries UCC鈥檚 commitment to community engagement with our research and teaching missions, to bring academic, human, and material resources in the Irish language into action for the benefit of the community.

Knocknaheeny is one of six Cork City Learning Neighbourhoods, and to celebrate this year鈥檚 Cork Lifelong Learning Festival, Barr na gCnoc hosted three events at Gaelchol谩iste Mhic Shuibhne, to promote Irish language and culture.

鈥業rish for the Terrified鈥�, a one-hour session for anyone scared of the Irish language, was hosted on Wednesday 10^th of April. Professor P谩draig 脫 Mach谩in and eight UCC students facilitated the event and supported local community members in learning how to order lunch in Irish. Participants put their skills into practice and enjoyed a light lunch in a fun and inclusive learning environment.

On Friday the 12^th of April, the local community were invited back to Terence MacSweeney Community College to enjoy the Barr na gCnoc Ceil铆 M贸r. They were joined by school staff and students who took the opportunity to brush up on their Irish dancing skills, while accompanied by a full Ceil铆 Band. 

Barr na gCnoc鈥檚 final event of the programme introduced staff, students, and the local community to the therapeutic delights of bashing a bodhr谩n. At the one-hour session hosted on Monday 15^th April, participants learned how to play one of Ireland鈥檚 oldest musical instruments.

This series of Barr na gCnoc events enabled participants to build a greater connection with the Irish language and Irish culture and empowered them to step outside their comfort zone and try something new. The events demonstrated the potential of societal engagement and how community co-designed initiatives produce positive outcomes.
