Lá do Litríocht na Gaeilge i Londain
Ó béaloidis an tseansaoil go dtí béarlagair an lae inniu. Cad as ar tháinig litríocht na Gaeilge agus cad tá i ndán dó san Aois Dhigiteach?
Tá an Ghaeilge á scríobh chomh fada siar le tús an mheánaois. Faightear i measc na litríochta ba shine san Eoraip í. D’athbheoigh an teanga ar iompú an fichiú haois, le scríbhneoireacht Ghaelach a bhí nua-aoiseach, éagsúil agus cathrach. Thóg údair agus filí an nua Gaeilge, ina measc Pádraic Ó Conaire agus Myles na gCapaillín (Briain Ó Nualláin) inspioráid as béaloideas na sean-gaeilge ar aon leis na fonsaí nua-aoiseachas liteartha sa Bhéarla de shaghas Joyce agus Beckett. Ach cad a bhfuil i ndán dó san Aois Dhigiteach. Bí linn mar a phléimid, stáir, stádas agus an todhchaí do litríocht na Gaeilge le scoláirí ó Coláiste na Trionoide, Mná Nuid agus Ollscoil Ghlaschú ·
Nóta: Is tríd an dá theanga ( Gaeilge agus Béarla ) a bheas an chaint.

The Irish Cultural Centre
The Irish Cultural Centre Hammersmith opened its doors in 1995 as the premiere centre in the UK dedicated to the promotion and welfare of Irish art and culture abroad. The ICC welcomes and invites people of all backgrounds and cultures to participate in our 3 core activities: our culture, community, and education programmes. Every year we hold a varied and exciting culture programme that includes high profile Irish music, theatre, film screenings, storytelling, Irish literature, comedy, art exhibitions, and a themed lecture series strengthening the bond between the UK and Ireland.
The Institute of Irish Studies, Liverpool
Established in 1988, the Institute of Irish Studies is the only one of its kind within Britain. Its mission is to be the UK’s main centre for multidisciplinary research into Ireland and its world-wide relations. The Irish government recognised our international standing in 2007 with a multi-million pound endowment to fund a Chair in Irish Studies. This funding continues to support our teaching and research in peace, conflict, and social justice, modern Irish literature in English, and medieval and modern history. It also supports our prestigious series of public lectures by dignitaries including President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins and former President Mary Robinson.
