Lucca Leadership talking about talking Irish

Michelle Gallen - www.talkirish.com

TalkIrish has had an exciting year to date. Following a Level 2 UnLtd cash award, Talk Irish secured a grant of £47k from The Arts Council of Northern Ireland’s Creative Industries Innovation Fund. Several employees have joined the team in recent months – an Irish web editor, a coder and designer. 
In April 2010, Talk Irish was awarded the prestigious Kieran Hegarty Award for Interactivity at the Celtic Media Festival – beating off competition from 5 BBC websites.

In June, Michelle Gallen from Talk Irish joined TN2020 – the British Council’s network of future leaders and influencers. As part of this network, she spent a week in Chicago, meeting with leaders and influencers from across Europe and the USA.

Talk Irish negotiated the exclusive rights to produce digital versions of Buntús Cainte – the most successful course in Irish ever. The Talk Irish team is hard at work producing online and MP3 courses which will be launched for sale in Autumn 2010 – bringing Talk Irish the revenue it needs to build a sustainable enterprise.

Finally, www.talkirish.com keeps growing – with over 7,500 members now part of our online community.
