This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. A language once thought lost revived by the world’s smallest minority people. An ancient language wit intense modern relevance today.
Adrian took over the position of Manx Language Development Officer (Yn Greinneyder) for Culture Vannin in January 2004. His role is to raise the profile of Manx Gaelic both within the Island and internationally and to assist organisations who work to support the language. The last few years have seen a growth in interest in our native language and the work of the Greinneyder is to maintain and develop this. Over the last couple of years, Adrian has developed a structured adult language programme, while working on high profile projects such as translation of the Gruffalo books into Manx and the creation of two highly-praised Manx language apps.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
