Gaelic language Television: Does it get you talking? is the title of the project that Enrique Uribe, a young Colombian documentary filmmaker and endangered languages student, is carrying out during his residency at Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum & Arts Centre in Lochmaddy, Isle of North Uist, from May to September 2006.  In his project, which is part of his Master’s degree in World Heritage Studies at university in Germany, Enrique wants to get the community involved around the question of whether Gaelic Television fosters the use of the Gaelic language.

Enrique is looking for people in the Outer Hebrides who would like to participate actively sharing their views on the topic, regardless of age. He is also searching for people who would engage in a documentary production workshop at Taigh Chearsabhagh, to work along with him in the production of a video aimed at getting people talking about this subject. Enrique is currently learning Gaelic as well, and is also taking this chance to improve his ability in the language.

If you are interested in sharing your views or participating in the workshop & production, please call Enrique at 01876 500 293 or email him at Uribejongbloed#OBFAT#yahoo#OBFDOT#de . There will be an initial meeting at Taigh Chearsabhagh on Thursday 25th May at 7.30pm for anybody interested, when Enrique will introduce the project.

Telebhisean Gàidhlig: A bheil e a' toirt ort bruidhinn?

'S e seo tiotal pròiseact a tha Enrique Uribe, Columbanach òg, a rannasachadh. 'S e oileanach mion-chànain a th' ann, a bhios a dèanamh fhiolmaichean fìrinneach. Bidh e a' fuireach aig Taigh Chearsabhagh, Loch nam Madadh, Uibhist a Tuath, eadar a' Mhàigh agus an t-Sultain gus an rannasachadh aige a dhèanamh. Tha a' phròiseact mar phàirt de cheum 'Masters' bho oilthigh anns a' Ghearmailt, agus tha Enrique ag iarraidh bheachdan na coimhearsnachd air a' bhuaidh a th' aig Telebhisean Gàidhlig air a' chànan seo.

Tha Enrique a' coimhead airson daoine aig gach aois anns na h-Eileanan a bhiodh deònach pàirt a ghabhail le bhith toirt seachad bheachdan. Tha e cuideachd a' coimhead airson daoine a bhiodh deònach cuideachadh le bhith dèanamh fiolm fìrinneach aig Taigh Chearsabhagh, le daoine a' bruidhinn mun chuspair. Tha Enrique cuideachd ag ionnsachadh na Gàidhlig, agus a' feuchainn ris a' chothrom seo a ghabhail airson barrachd a bhruidhinn.

Ma tha ùidh agaibh ann a bhith toirt seachad bheachdan neo pàirt a ghabhail anns a' bhùth-obrach, cuir fòn gu Enrique air 01876 500 293, air neo e-mail gu Uribejongbloed#OBFAT#yahoo#OBFDOT#de . Bidh coinneamh fhosgailte aig Taigh Chearsabhagh air Diardaoin 25mh Màigh aig 7.30f , far am bi Enrique a' bruidhinn mun phròiseact.
