Youth engagement in the Irish-language revival movement in Belfast since 1998

该项目考察了自《耶稣受难日协定》(1998年)以来青年参与贝尔法斯特爱尔兰语复兴运动的情况。通过生成口述历史访谈、在线资料和私人收藏中的材料文化的“自下而上的档案”，该项目将记录和探索三代青年语言活动家的活动：来自曼斯科伊尔·费尔斯特的第一批学生、‘Dream Dearg’一代和当前一代青少年活动家。该项目批判性地评估了青年在扩大爱尔兰语方面的作用，探讨了青年工具化/机构的复杂性，并调查了社区赋权在冲突后社会中的作用。

This project examines youth engagement in the Irish-language revival movement in Belfast since the Good Friday Agreement (1998). By generating an 'archive-from-below' of oral history interviews, online sources, and material culture in private collections, the project will document and explore the activities of three generations of youth language activists: the first cohort of students from Meánscoil Feirste; the 'Dream Dearg' generation; and the current generation of teenage activists. The project critically assesses the role of youth in the expansion of Irish, explores the complexities around youth instrumentalization/agency, and investigates the role of communityempowerment in post-conflict society.
