68 Sárscoil Fíbín is an intensive 2 week drama course for teenagers with a keen interest in acting and drama. The uniqueness of this course is that its run through Irish and all the mentors have extensive experience in drama and TV. The first of these courses were run in July 2011 and has been running continuously since. Sárscoil Fíbín runs for 2 weeks at the end of June/start of July every year and candidates aged between 15 17 years old are chosen by an audition process. The course is open to schools within the Gaeltacht and outside but the only requirement for students is a reasonable level of Irish. This projectly is kindly supported by Foras na Gaeilge and An Roinn Ealaíon, Oidhreachta & Gaeltachta! Is dianchúrsa aisteoireachta coicíse é Sárscoil Fíbín do dhaoine óga. Cuireadh tús leis an Sárscoil i mí Iúil 2011 agus d’éirigh linn é a chur ar bun gach bliain ó shin i leith. Reáchtáiltear Sárscoil Fíbín gach samhradh ar feadh coicíse i dtreo dheireadh mhí Meithimh/tús mhí Iúil le rannpháirtithe idir 15-17 bliain d'aois a roghnaítear trí phróiseas éisteachtaí. Tá an cúrsa oscailte do scoileanna sa Ghaeltacht agus lasmuigh de, ach amháin go gcaithfidh leibhéal réasúnta Gaeilge a bheith ag na rannpháirtithe. Faigheann an cúrsa tacaíocht ó Fhoras na Gaeilge agus An Roinn Ealaíon, Oidhreachta & Gaeltachta! Sárscoil Fíbín for Transition Year students is a pilot scheme where we are looking for 10 schools from across the country to participate on this 2-3 day drama/acting/communication skills residential course in Connemara. Students will have the opportunity to work together as a team through Irish to develop their acting/drama and scriptwriting skills. Scéim píolótach é Sárscoil Fíbín don Idirbhliain a bhfuil muid sa tóir ar 10 scoil mórthimpeall na tíre chun tabhairt faoi. Is cúrsa cónaítheach 2-3 lá i nGaeltacht Chonamara é a thugann deis iontach do scoláirí Idirbhliana obair mar chuid d’fhoireann trí mheán na Gaeilge chun scileanna teilifíse/drámaíochta agus scríbhneoireacht scripte a fhoghlaim. 69
