Tá an Ciorca Comhrá á éascú ag Alan agus Gemma. Is Múinteoirí Bunscoile cáilithe iad Gemma agus Alan araon a bhfuil grá acu don Ghaeilge.
- Is spás sábháilte é seo inar féidir le Múinteoirí Bunscoile/ Múinteoirí faoi oiliúint a gcuid Gaeilge a chleachtadh.
- Níl aon leibhéal ar leith Gaeilge riachtanach chun páirt a ghlacadh sa Chiorcal Comhrá.
- Maireann an Ciorcal Comhrá uair an chloig agus déantar é a éascú ar líne.
