Faigheann Conor léargas faoi leith ar thráma trasghlúineach a phobail féin atá ag maireachtáil i dtréimhse iar-choinbhleachta an lae inniu trí scríbhneoireacht chruthaitheach Scríbhneoirí an tSléibhe, meitheal scríbhneoirí atá lonnaithe i mBéal Feirste agus a bunaíodh mar thacaíocht do mhuintir na háite. Leanann Conor stair s’acu ó shin i leith, ag labhairt le lucht a leanta a fhaigheann faoiseamh tríd an scríbhneoireacht.

San eagrán seo, labhraíonn Conor le Seán Johnboy Ó Muireagáin, údar ó Bhéal Feirste a bhfuil roinnt leabhar foilsithe aige, a bhí mar éascaitheoir fosta ar an chúrsa scríbhneoireachta Scríbhneoirí an tSléibhe agus a chuidigh le daoine ó Bhéal Feirste tús a chuir le haistear scríbhneoireachta s’acu féin.

Is léiriú de chuid Corcra Media é Scríbhneoirí an tSléibhe do BBC Gaeilge agus RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta, le maoiniú ó Chiste Craoltóireachta Gaeilge, Scáileáin Thuaisceart Éireann.

Conor explores intergenerational trauma and how it manifests in a post-conflict society through the experiences and creative writings of Scríbhneoirí an tSléibhe, a Belfast based creative writing group set up to tackle mental health problems faced by members of the community. Conor aims to expand on his own understanding of the society he grew up in to help him work towards his ambition of becoming a writer.

This episode features Seán Johnboy Ó Muireagáin, an author from Belfast who also facilitated the creative writing courses that inspired this series.

Produced by Corcra Media for BBC Gaeilge and RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta, with support from Northern Ireland Screen’s Irish Language Broadcast Fund. Show less
