Tá
an t-eolas sa leabhrán seo á chur ar fáil ag CONCOS mar áis do dhaoine óga,
dá dtuismitheoirí agus dá múinteoirí. Tá súil againn go meallfaidh sé iad agus
go gcabhróidh sé leo seal a chaitheamh sa Ghaeltacht agus teanga a ndúchais
agus a sinsir, an Ghaeilge, a bhlaiseadh mar bheotheanga phobail.
Agus béim níos láidre ná
riamh á leagadh ar áit na hÉireann san Eoraip Nua, tá sé fíor-thábhachtach go
dtabharfaí dár ndaoine óga, ní hamháin scileanna foghlaim teanga, ach féiniúlacht,
féinmheas agus léirthuiscint dá n-oidhreacht, a luach dóibh féin agus a luach
don Eoraip uile. Is féidir an bunús ceart a thabhairt dóibh leis an nGaeilge.
Níl bealach níos fearr ná sna Coláistí Samhraidh Gaeilge.
Bain trilail as!
CONCOS, Comhchoiste na gColáistí Samhraidh, is a federation
of 42 Irish Summer Colleges both inside and outside the main Gaeltachtaí, as
well as Residential Colleges in the provinces. These Coláistí have been approved
by the Department of Education and Science and the Department of Arts, Heritage,
Gaeltacht and the Islands. They must also adhere to the Constitution and Code
of Practice of CONCOS.
Everybody involved in an
Irish College is enthusiastic, experienced and committed to the promotion of
the Irish Language, with due regard to changing standards and methods of teaching
and development of young people. CONCOS is in constant contact with the Department
of Health to ensure the pupils are properly cared for with due regard to health,
safety and supervision.
Unlike a normal primary
or secondary school, when your child goes to an Irish College the Coláiste is
truly in loco parentis until he/she returns.
While CONCOS is a non-statutory
body, we make every effort to ensure our high standards are maintained throughout.
While every effort is made to ensure that all information is accurate in this
booklet, the individual Coláiste is the final arbiter for booking, information
and registration of complaints should one arise. In the first instance, therefore,
contact should be made through the Coláiste selected.
Mar fhocal scoir, CONCOS
will investigate all matters of education, accommodation and behaviour. They
will ensure good value for money is given.
