Two Opportunities For Young People To Improve Their Gaelic

31st January 2013

Cothroman do dh'òigridh an cuid sgilean Gàidhlig a chur gu feum, an leasachadh agus an leudachadh ann an tachartasan cruthachail ague spòrsail.

Fèisean nan Gàidheal is pleased to offer these opportunities for young people to use their Gaelic and expand their skills in creative and fun activities.

Bidh Fèisean nan Gàidheal a' cumail 5 Latha a-rithist am bliadhna aig Na Gearrannan, Eilean Leòdhais eadar 8-13 Giblean 2013.

Gheibh com-pàirtichean cothrom ùine a chur seachad ann an coimhearsnachd Gàidhlig a’ tadhail air daoine le sàr eòlas air an obair aca le cothroman ionnsachadh mu chaoraich aig àm breith nan uan, buain na mònadh, ag iasgach aig mùir, trusadh maorach agus còcaireachd.

The residential event 5 Latha will be held again this year in Lewis between 8-13 April 2013 when up to sixteen Gaelic speaking participants will have the opportunity to spend time in a community where Gaelic is used naturally and in which crofting, fishing and the Harris Tweed industry play an important part in the lives of its residents. They will experience lambing, looking after cattle, fishing, peat cutting, producing Harris Tweed and cookery. And while a musical ability is not essential, there will be music and song workshops throughout the week with two of our finest musicians; well known fiddler Iain MacFarlane (Blazin Fiddles) and Gaelic singer Norrie MacIver (Mànran).
