Statement from Scriobh Leabhar re 2024/2025

ÁIS & Clár na Leabhar Gaeilge would like to thank you all for taking part in Scríobh Leabhar 2023-2024. They hope to have the books uploaded to the website and returned to you by the end of next month: www.forasnagaeilge.ie/scriobhleabhar/

Unfortunately, Clár na Leabhar Gaeilge will not have the capacity to run Scríobh Leabhar 2024-2025 due to staff shortages at present. We hope to advertise Scríobh Leabhar for the following academic year 2025-2026. We will keep you updated.

We look forward to working with you all again in 2025!

Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil libh go léir as bheith rannpháirteach sa tionscadal Scríobh Leabhar 2023-2024. Beimid ag súil leis na leabhair a bheith in airde ar an suíomh gréasáin agus seolta ar ais chugaibh faoi dheireadh na míosa seo chugainn: www.forasnagaeilge.ie/scriobhleabhar/

Ar an drochuair, ní bheidh sé d’acmhainn ag Clár na Leabhar Gaeilge Scríobh Leabhar 2024-2025 a reáchtáil de dheasca easpa acmhainní foirne i láthair na huaire. Beimid ag súil le Scríobh Leabhar a fhógairt arís don scoilbhliain 2025-2026. Coinneoimid ar an eolas sibh.

Beimid ag súil go mór le bheith ag comhoibriú libh sa bhliain 2025!

Scríobh Leabhar is a commendable initiative sponsored by Clár na Leabhar Gaeilge and organized in collaboration with various educational centres across Ireland. This project is designed to inspire primary school students to engage in the writing, designing, and publishing of their own books in the Irish language, thereby promoting the reading and writing of Irish among young children.

Project Objectives

The primary objectives of the Scríobh Leabhar project include:

  1. Encouraging creativity and literacy in Irish among primary school students.
  2. Providing students with a practical understanding of the book creation process.
  3. Offering a flexible approach to book writing where students can write individually, in groups, or as a whole class.
  4. Rewarding and recognizing the efforts of young writers.

Project Execution

Under the guidance of their teachers, the children write, design, and bind their own books. The focus is on the writing process itself, fostering a deep engagement with the Irish language and creative storytelling. The project’s flexibility allows each child to contribute in a manner that suits their skills and interests, either individually or collaboratively.

Participation and Outcomes

In 2024, the project saw significant participation with six primary schools involved:

  1. Tara Hill
  2. Our Lady of Lourdes, Bunclody
  3. Scoil Mhuire Gan Smál
  4. Scoile Mhuire Rosslare
  5. Hacketstown NS
  6. Bigstone NS

Over 500 children took part in the project, resulting in the creation of 249 books. Each child who participated in Scríobh Leabhar received a certificate and a prize, celebrating their hard work and creativity.

Acknowledgments

Congratulations to all the schools, teachers, and especially the young authors who participated in the Scríobh Leabhar project in 2024. Your dedication and creativity are truly inspiring.

Future Prospects

We look forward to seeing these wonderful books published on the Foras na Gaeilge website in September, showcasing the talents and efforts of the students. This project not only enriches the participants but also contributes significantly to the promotion and preservation of the Irish language.

Please see a small selection of books submitted this year below.
