Come join us and be transported back one hundred years to explore the history and politics which were happening on the island at the time.
This event will take place at Sgoil an Rubha on Thursday the 23rd of May at 7.30pm and will feature pupils from P5-7 Gaelic Medium. Catriona Dunn, who has been working with pupils on the historical context and stories relating to the time added: “It was a pleasure to work with the pupils at Sgoil an Rubha. They remembered well what they had learnt last year about the Metagama and it was evident that have enjoyed learning about Lord Leverhulme. They are a diligent group of young people and I am certain they will be well rehearsed and give a great performance on the night. Anne Frater is to be commended for producing such a wonderful script”.
Evelyn Coull MacLeod, from the Education Department of the Comhairle further commented: “A huge amount of work has been undertaken since the start of the year and we are thankful to have such a strong and talented team who have been delivering inputs to our schools. Although the final performances are at the heart of what we do the entire process is equally, if not more, important. The skills our young people are obtaining is hugely important and will remain with them for many years. It also gives our pupils the opportunity to further develop their language skills and utilise them in different contexts”.
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar would like to thank the Scottish Government for their financial support in bringing Dìleab 2024 to fruition. Ongoing support from partner agency, Fèisean nan Gàidheal, continues to produce benefits for all.
