Faced with uncertainties surrounding its funding model, the Scola Corsa - Federazione network of immersion schools mobilized again this Saturday in Bastia. More than 3,000 people participated in the rally organized to defend Corsican-medium education and demanded the hiring of 11 teachers.

The association had warned in April of an imminent risk of closure due to legal and financial uncertainty. Scola Corsa's operations rely heavily on support from the Corsican Government, which provides nearly 70% of its funding, supplemented by families, municipalities, and private donations. However, an audit by the Court of Auditors, followed by administrative proceedings initiated by the Paris appointed Prefect of Corsica, has jeopardized this model. According to Scola Corsa's leaders, if the subsidy were deemed illegal, the entire organization would ultimately collapse.

Gathering in the early afternoon in front of the Bastia courthouse, the demonstrators then marched through the city centre to the prefecture. Behind several banners and signs calling for the safeguarding of Scola Corsa, such as A nostra lingua = u nostru avvene, Simu l'ultima generazione, Scola Corsa camperà or Zitelli bislingui = zitelli putenti , they denounced what they consider to be a direct threat to the future of immersion education in the Corsican language. In the procession, children, parents, teachers and elected officials were united behind the phrase Scola Corsa deve campà , chanted several times during the descent towards the prefecture.

In front of the prefecture gates, Ghjiseppu Turchini, President of the association, reaffirmed the commitment to continue the fight for the contractualization of 11 teachers, the only way, according to the organizers, to perpetuate immersion education in Corsica. "As I speak to you, 200 Corsican town halls, more than half of all the town halls in Corsica, have adopted a motion of support, 10,000 people have signed the manifesto, 500 businesses, and six members of parliament have unanimously addressed the Prime Minister. This demonstrates, if any proof were needed, the deep-rooted attachment of Corsican society to its language and to the model represented by Scola Corsa ," he declared.

To the applause of the demonstrators, he then gave the floor to Paul Molac MP for Morbihan and campaigner on language issues, and Peio Jorajuria, representative of Euskal Konfederazioa, the equivalent of Scola Corsa in the Basque Country.

Following the speeches, a delegation, composed of Ghjiseppu Turchini, Gilles Simeoni, Mayor of Bastia, Michel Castellani, Member of Parliament for Haute-Corse, Jean-Pierre Luciani (STC), and Christian Paccou representing the LDH (Human Rights League), was received at the prefecture.

Upon leaving, the President of Scola Corsa stated that "our statements are unfortunately all too similar and repetitive." "We are still not satisfied, but we will remain calmly but firmly committed to obtaining the 11 positions we have been requesting from the outset, because this widespread contractualization is essential for the long-term viability of the model and the definitive security of Scola Corsa."

He indicated, however, that discussions are progressing and that a response should be provided early next week. "The Prefect has confirmed that we will receive a response early next week. The relevant departments are working on this, and it must be acknowledged that they are fully mobilized on this issue." Now, the technical discussion needs to be confirmed not only by Paris—that is, the proposals we have put forward to definitively secure the network and its funding—but also for the message to be heard regarding the level of contractualization that must be generalized, as has benefited all the other immersive networks in France. We need to adopt the same model, otherwise we won't succeed." (Report by Léana Serve for Corse Net Infos)

Ba mheantóir, spreagadh agus cara é Dónall do mhórán againn agus táimid faoi chomaoin mhór aige as an obair shuntasach agus fhadtéarmach a rinne sé chun ár dteangacha a chosaint agus a fhorbairt le blianta fada.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing on of Dónall Ó Riagáin, former President and Secretary-General of the European Bureau for Lesser-Used Languages, predecessor of ELEN, on May 22nd.

Dónall was a mentor, inspiration and friend to many of us and we are deeply indebted to him for the significant and long-term contribution he made to the protection and development of our languages ​​over many years.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal - Kosk yn kres Dónall.


Tá an-bhrón orainn a chloisteáil go bhfuil Dónall Ó Riagáin imithe ar shlí na fírinne, iar-Uachtarán agus Ard-Rúnaí Bhiúró na hEorpa do Theangacha Neamhfhorleathana, réamhtheachtaí ELEN, ar an 22 Bealtaine.

Ba mheantóir, spreagadh agus cara é Dónall do mhórán againn agus táimid faoi chomaoin mhór aige as an obair shuntasach agus fhadtéarmach a rinne sé chun ár dteangacha a chosaint agus a fhorbairt le blianta fada.

B'abhcóide teanga, oideagus feachtasóir idirnáisiúnta clúiteach é Dónall ar son cosaint teangacha neamhfhorleathana. Rugadh é i mBaile Átha Cliath sa bhliain 1941, agus bhí sé ar dhuine de na guthanna ba mhó tionchar i ngluaiseacht na Gaeilge nua-aimseartha agus ina chosantóir gan staonadh ar éagsúlacht teanga.

D'oibrigh Dónall do Chomhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge mar eagraí náisiúnta Ghlór na nGael, comórtas chun an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn ag leibhéal an phobail áitiúil. Chaith sé na deich mbliana ina dhiaidh sin mar Bhainisteoir ar Roinn na gClár Oideachais agus Óige de chuid Gael-Linn.

Le linn leath dheireanach na 1970idí, chuir sé chun cinn an smaoineamh go mbeadh comhlacht comhordaithe Eorpach ann do phobail teangacha neamhfhorleathana i mballstáit an AE a chuirfeadh a leasanna chun cinn ar leibhéal an AE. D'oibrigh sé go dlúth le Feisirí Eorpacha ar spéis leo an tionscadal, go háirithe John Hume, chun go nglacfadh Parlaimint na hEorpa le Rún Arfé i 1982. Mar thoradh air seo, bunaíodh Biúró Eorpach na dTeangacha Neamhfhorleathana, agus toghadh é mar an chéad Uachtarán air agus ina dhiaidh sin mar Ard-Rúnaí. Faoina cheannaireacht, thug an eagraíocht aird Eorpach gan sárú ar theangacha i mbaol agus ar theangacha mionlaigh.

D'oibrigh sé ar chláir teanga éagsúla agus bhí sé ina bhall de CAHLR, Coiste Chomhairle na hEorpa a dhréachtaigh an Chairt Eorpach do Theangacha Réigiúnacha nó Mionlaigh. Tar éis dó imeacht ó EBLUL, d'oibrigh sé ar chur chun cinn na síochána agus na gceart teanga in Éirinn, agus bhí sé ar mhisin iomadúla chuig Cónaidhm na Rúise agus iar-stáit eile de chuid an APSS, m.sh. Kalmykia, Bashkortistan, Buryatia, Khakassia, an Mholdóiv agus an tSeoirsia. Lean sé leis a bheith gníomhach i ngluaiseacht na Gaeilge ina cheantar féin - Cill Dara leis an nGaeilge.

Cuirimid ár gcomhbhrón ó chroí in iúl dá bhaintreach Treasa agus dá iníonacha Íde agus Bébhin agus a dteaghlaigh. Braithfear uainn go mór é.

Beidh Aifreann Sochraide ar siúl i Séipéal Bhaile Chanáin, an Nás, Contae Chill Dara ag 2 i.n. Déardaoin, 28 Bealtaine.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing on of Dónall Ó Riagáin, former President and Secretary-General of the European Bureau for Lesser-Used Languages, predecessor of ELEN, on May 22nd.

Dónall was a mentor, inspiration and friend to many of us and we are deeply indebted to him for the significant and long-term contribution he made to the protection and development of our languages ​​over many years.

Dónall was a renowned language advocate, educator and international campaigner for the protection of lesser-used languages. Born in Dublin in 1941, he was one of the most influential voices in the modern Irish language movement and a tireless defender of linguistic diversity.

Dónall worked for Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge as the national organiser of Glór na nGael, a competition to promote the Irish language at local community level. He spent the next ten years as Manager of the Education and Youth Programmes Department of Gael-Linn.

During the latter half of the 1970s, he promoted the idea of ​​a European coordinating body for lesser-used language communities in EU member states that would promote their interests at EU level. He worked closely with interested MEPs, notably John Hume, to have the European Parliament adopt the Arfé Resolution in 1982. This led to the establishment of the European Bureau for Lesser-Used Languages (EBLUL), of which he was elected its first President and later Secretary-General. Under his leadership, the organisation brought unprecedented European attention and progress for European endangered and minoritised languages.

He worked on various language programmes and was a member of the CAHLR, the Council of Europe Committee which drafted the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages.

After leaving EBLUL, he worked on the promotion of peace and language rights in Ireland, and was on numerous missions to the Russian Federation and other former USSR states, e.g. Kalmykia, Bashkortistan, Buryatia, Khakassia, Moldova and Georgia. He remained active in the Irish language movement in his own area of Kildare with the Irish language.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his widow Treasa and to his daughters Íde and Bébhin and their families. He will be greatly missed.

A Funeral Mass will be held in Ballycanan Church, Naas, County Kildare at 2 p.m. on Thursday, 28th May.
