| L├¡onra Uladh Teo [Charity number: NI104804] Líonra Uladh Teo was established in March 2012 from whence it embarked on the process of providing a modern, purpose-built cultural and community facility, incorporating the Irish language community radio station, Raidió Fáilte. The capital build is at the planning stage and when completed, Líonra Uladh Teo will provide facilities for the provision of community training, alongside community broadcasting, sound recording and archiving services – and space for community-based cultural activities. It is doing this in order to promote the Irish language as a cultural resource for all members of the community, including on a cross-community basis - targeting speakers and learners of the language and those with an interest in aspects of Irish culture. Líonra Uladh Teo seeks to foster increased tolerance of linguistic and cultural diversity and to address issues of poverty and social exclusion in one of the most deprived areas within the Northern Ireland region. It does this by replacing dereliction and anti-community activity on a site within the Divis area with positive messages of cultural, social and economic regeneration, employment opportunities and community development. The community regeneration efforts of Líonra Uladh Teo have been recognised by the local council (Belfast City Council have provided in principle support to the project) and by local government departments (the Department of Culture Arts & Leisure have provided development support and the N I Housing Executive and the Department of Regional Development have gifted land to the project in the form of a community asset transfer). |
