Here’s an example of the work that was done when a team of Uibhistich went over to Ireland recently. The purpose of the trip was to introduce the “Island Voices” project and way of working to a Donegal community where the Irish language is still strong. This short film was made, with versions in English and Irish and Scottish Gaelic.
