Tar linn chun cúrsaí mhíchumais a phlé trí mheán na Gaeilge, na gluaiseachta, na focail agus an spraoi. Stiúrfaidh amharclannóirí agus Gaeilgeoirí Billí Mills agus Soso Ní Cheallaigh an cheardlann seo chun an teanga mhíchumais a phlé trí na healaíona. Tar le chéile chun an Foclóir Faoi Mhíchumas a chruthú – acmhainn Gaeilge comhaimseartha a phléann le teanga mhíchumais agus téarmaí nua cruthaithe le Gaeilgeoirí faoi mhíchumas. Mar rannpháirteach, beidh tú in ann pháirt a ghlacadh i gcomhráite, radharc-chruthú, agus marc-chruthú.

Níl eolas ar an nGaeilge ná taithí gluaiseacht de dhíth — níl uait ach intinn oscailte, meon oscailte, agus fiosracht. Caith éadaí compordacha a cheadaíonn gluaiseacht, agus tabhair leat deochanna agus lón, nó, más mian leat, beidh tú ábalta lón a cheannach sa chaife.

Explore disability through Gaeilge, movement, words and play. Theatremakers and Irish speakers Billí Mills and Soso Ní Cheallaigh will lead this Irish-language workshop that creatively explores the language of disability. Join them and help create the Fócloir Faoi Mhíchumas, a modern Gaeilge resource exploring and defining new terms for disabled Gaeilgeoiríidentities. As a participant, you can expect to take part in discussions, scene creations, and mark-making.

Participants do not require any prior knowledge of Irish, artistic or movement experience, just a curiosity and a willingness to share. Dress in comfortable clothes that you can move in, and bring a packed lunch (or purchase something in the cafe).

Important Update on Fócloir Faoi Mhíchumas / Disability Dictionary workshop. We have updated the pricing structure to FREE or pay what you can. We recognise that the Gaeltacht communities are among the most disadvantaged and we want to ensure that there is no financial barrier in accessing this workshop. 

This project has been supported by the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland through The Ultach Fund 2025.
