Our mission
Sharing our unique culture and experience with the world
Our mission is to seek out the stories, achievements and scenes of our local neighbourhood. We also enjoy joining with other communities in story, music and song.
Telile was born in the collapse of the Atlantic cod fishery, when Isle Madame had no newspaper, radio or television of its own and urgently needed a way to talk to itself. Three decades on, that is still the job: making sure people here know what is going on and how they can take part.
