Faisnéis Imeachta as Gaeilge
​Haigh a chairde!

Tugaimid cuireadh díobh bualadh linn i gcomhrá cairdiúil ag ceiliúradh Seachtain na Gaeilge. Ná bac faoin leibhéal Gaeilge atá agaibh- cúpla focal nó líofacht, nó pé rud idir an dá cheann. Beidh fáilte ollmhór roimh go léir!
Beidh trí seomraí 'break-out' againn ar an lá. Ceann do thosaitheoirí, ceann do dhaoine idirmheánach agus ceann do dhaoine le líofacht. Is féidir libh léim isteach agus amach ó na sheomraí aon am is fearr leat, ag aon am. Is féidir libh phairt a glacadh nó do scith a ligint go chiúin gan fadhbh.
 
Cosúil le gach Zoom eile le Bí+ Ireland 'sé do chompord agus spraoi atá mar aidhm, mar gheall ar sin agus lenár difríochtaí- bígí saor chun do rud fhéin a dhéanamh a bheith ar do chompord linn. Tá gach aon rud bailí. At teacht déanach? Ná bac, tar isteach agus glac do shaoire aon am. Más cúig nóiméad a chaitheamh linn, nó an Zoom uilig, beidh muid sásta go raibh sibh ann.
 
Tóg leat agus bí ag obair ar do cheardlann, chniotáil nó dathúcháin más maith leat do lámha a choimeád gnóthach agus tú ag éisteacht nó ag caint freisin.
 
Tá toiliú ceann de na rudaí is tábhachtach dúinn agus mar sin is é do rogha úsáid a bhaint as do cheamara nó mic agus níl aon gá nó brú orthu muna bhfuil sibh sásta-do rogha an t-am ar fad.
 
Mar is gnáth tá an cruinniú seo ar oscailt do baill Bí+ Ireland go léir agus daoine faoin 'Bi umbella' , 18+ agus a cairde, clann, comhpháirtí agus a cúramóirí, srl.
 
Do chéad am ag bualadh linn? Seachas bhallraíocht le Bí+ Ireland fós? Seol teachtaireacht chugainn agus is féidir lenár foireann deonach cuireadh a thabhairt duit agus coimeád súil amuigh duit ar an lá.

Event Information in English
​Hey everyone!
 
We invite you to join us for a casual conversation in the Irish language to celebrate Sheachtain na Gaeilge.
Whether you have only no Irish at all, a few words or are fluent and everything in between, everyone is welcome.
We will have 3 breakout rooms for beginners, intermediate and fluent. You can join any room you want or swap at any stage. You can join in the conversation. You can just sit back and listen. Whatever suits you.

What to Expect from a Bi+ Ireland Zoom
Whatever you feel most comfortable doing, is what you should be doing. This zoom, like all Bi+ Ireland events, is there for the enjoyment and comfort of our members and that means different things to different members but each is valid.

Like always our meet-ups are open to all adults under the Bi+ Umbrella and their friends, partners, carers etc.
If multiple people from the same household are participating, you could all, of course, join us on the one video call.

First time going to a Bi+ Ireland Meetup? Not yet a member of our lovely online community group? Feel free to send us a message and our volunteers can add you to the group and look out for you on the day.

For the purpose of this event, we will be hosting over Zoom.
We will be using a paid version of Zoom so there is end-to-end encryption on the call. A link to the zoom meeting and its password will be sent on the day. You are not required to download Zoom onto any device as you can access the meeting through any web browser. Nor do you have to sign up to zoom.

Important to Note

• Saturday 13th March 2021
  • Starting at 5pm. Finishing at 7pm.
• Like all Bi+ Ireland events, this event puts consent first and foremost, you can choose if you have your mic and camera on or not, at any point.
  • You can type comments as well/ instead of using your voice .
• If you are running late, don’t worry pop into the call whenever you are free. Likewise, feel free to leave at any stage. Whether you are there for 5 minutes or the entire event, we will be happy to know you were there.
• Feel free to work away on crafts, knitting, colouring or such, if you like to keep your hands busy as you talk.
• If possible please wear headphones with a mic. This helps improve audio and reduces the amount of feedback in the call.
• You can have a public chat in the chat function, but no private messaging anyone
  • Please note, there will be Bi+ Ireland volunteers keeping an eye on the chat.
• Please use "content notices" if you are about to talk about sensitive or potentially triggering topics. 
  • If you're talking about a situation that is sensitive for you it might be helpful if you clearly say if you're looking for sympathy or if you're looking for solutions - but you don't have to do that .
• In the interest of consensual interactions we are implementing a "badge" policy, which we learnt from another group.

Just rename yourself to include the first letter of the colour badge you feel is appropriate.
Eg: G -Alex, O - Aaron, R - Eliza,

• Green (G) means I'd like to interact so please chat with me & I might not speak out myself.
• Orange (O) means prior permission - I only want to interact with people whom I've given permission.
• Red means - (R) I'm here, but not up for any kind of interaction
• No colour means you'll manage things as they come .
• You can change badges/ colour things many times during a conversation but just remember it might take others a few seconds to notice.
• Volunteers will have a V badge
• This is a Bi+ Ireland event and as such our guidelines are in play. Remember to respect each other, act in good faith and know that no racism, sexism or lgbt-phobia will be tolerated.
