Seachdain na Gàidhlig
World Gaelic Week
Seachdain na Gàidhlig is facilitated by Hands Up for Trad, Scottish Charity No 035 190.
Established in 2022 and funded by Bòrd na Gàidhlig, Seachdain na Gàidhlig (World Gaelic Week) celebrates Scottish Gaelic across the globe and aims to raise the profile of Gaelic through community initiatives, schools’ engagement, projects and events.
Anybody can take part or run their own event – the initiative offers opportunities for Gaelic speakers, and those without the language, to get involved in a way that suits them. Whether you are in Scotland or further afield – get in touch if you would like to discuss an idea.
Our programme is live! Discover events taking place during Seachdain na Gàidhlig 2025. From dances and talks to baking and walks, it’s a packed programme.
Join our free, online workshops for school children of all ages, delivered by broadcaster & presenter Joy Dunlop, featuring games, songs, stories and quizzes.
Discover more about our theme for 2025— ‘Building Connections’ —how you can get involved in running or attending events, and meet the team helping to bring the festival to life.
