Raidió RÃ-Rá, Ireland’s only all-Irish chart-station for young people, has put out a call for people with fluent Irish and a few hours to spare one morning a week in March 2010 to help get the word out about the station
Raidió RÃ-Rá, which can be heard all year around online on www.rrr.ie, on all Nokia phones, and on iPhones with the latest application, will go onto the airwaves for the second year in a row as part of Seachtain na Gaeilge. Seachtain na Gaeilge is a non-profit organisation, which promotes the use of Irish language and culture both at home and abroad within a two-week festival held in March every year.
The chart-station will be broadcasting live in Dublin (100.3 FM), Cork (106.7 FM), Galway (99.1 FM), and Limerick (105.5 FM) during March 2010 and the station is organising volunteer teams to visit schools in these cities. Volunteers are required for a few hours one morning a week in March to help Raidió RÃ-Rá by visiting at most five schools in their area.
The Raidió RÃ-Rá street-teams will visit classes to chat with the pupils in Irish and to organise quizzes with small prizes with them, and some lucky students will even have the chance to talk live on air to RÃ-Rá presenters in studio. Raidió RÃ-Rá will supply all the prizes and the necessary material for the quizzes for the street-teams to get the fun going as Gaeilge in schools.
