Seachtain na Gaeilge 2021 Fáilte!
Irish Language Week 2021 Welcome!
Déantar ceiliúradh ar Sheachtain na Gaeilge gach bliain ó 1ú – 17ú Márta. Bunaíodh an fhéile don chéad uair in 1902 agus tá sí anois ar an fhéile idirnáisiúnta is mó a dhéanann ceiliúradh ar an Ghaeilge. Déantar ceiliúradh ar Sheachtain na Gaeilge ag pobail fud fad an domhain anois.
Irish Language Week is celebrated each year from 1st – 17th March. First established in 1902 the festival has grown to become the largest annual international celebration of the Irish language and is now celebrated by communities across the globe.
This year’s programme also contains information about events in the wider North West region, including events being run by our partner organisation Donegal County Council and details about events which are being run by the local community. And as all of this year’s events are online there are countless opportunities for people to learn, engage with and use the language.
Irish Language Week aims to create opportunities for people to use and enjoy the Irish language, and this year we’ve been working with partners in the Irish language community across the city and district, to create a unique programme of online events which celebrate the Irish language as part of the shared heritage of the region.
Irish Language Week is all about participation, so log on, join in and enjoy a programme of events which has something for everyone!
Cruthaíonn Seachtain na Gaeilge deiseanna do dhaoine an Ghaeilge a úsáid agus sult a bhaint aisti agus i mbliana, tá muid ag obair i bpáirtíocht le rannpháirtithe i bpobal na Gaeilge fud fad na cathrach agus an cheantair le clár imeachtaí uathúil ar líne a chruthú a dhéanann ceiliúradh ar an Ghaeilge mar chuid d’oidhreacht roinnte an cheantair.
Tá eolas faoi imeachtaí san Iarthuaisceart sa chlár i mbliana, imeachtaí atá á reáchtáil ag ár gcomhpháirtí, Comhairle Chontae Dhún na Gall san áireamh agus sonraí faoi imeachtaí atá á reáchtáil ag an phobal áitiúil. Cionas go bhfuil na himeachtaí ar fad ar líne i mbliana, tá deiseanna iomadúla ann do dhaoine an teanga a fhoghlaim agus a úsáid. Tá rannpháirtíocht ag croí Sheachtain na Gaeilge, mar sin logáil isteach, bí páirteach agus bain sult as clár imeachtaí ina bhfuil rud ann go gach uile duine!
