Upcoming Events

Seachdain na Gàidhlig will contain two main strands: an Official Programme of Events, containing a timetabled programme of organised interviews, performances and conversations, executed in partnership with collaborators from across a range of sectors.

These will be a mixture of in person and online events (Covid-19 restrictions dependent) that will provide a platform for Gaelic speakers to connect with wider actual and virtual communities.

This will be accompanied by a programme of local events, supported by a tool kit of resources, that will allow community groups, local authorities, schools, libraries and various organisations to become involved at community level.

Job Opportunity – Social Media Content Creator

Seachdain na Gàidhlig is the first official Gaelic language and culture week to be held in Scotland. Similar to Seachdain na Gaeilge in Ireland and Mìos nan Gàidheal in Nova Scotia, the week aims to promote Gaelic for all, with official events and community initiatives. It will provide the opportunity for both Gaelic speakers and those without the language to take part in a way that suits them, both here in Scotland and further afield.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Social Media Content Creator to be part of this brand new initiative.
