National Seminar – STEM Nation Award in Gaelic – World Gaelic Week 2026

As Education Scotland’s keynote event for Seachdain na Gàidhlig – World Gaelic Week 2026, we present an opportunity to explore the Duais Nàisean STEM – the STEM Nation Award in Gaelic.
This event’s keynote speaker will be Iona Lynch from Bun-sgoil Innis an Uillt/Meadowburn Primary School, Bishopbrigg, the first ever school to achieve the STEM Nation Award entirely through Gaelic.

This is an unmissable opportunity to engage in dialogue with colleagues involved in STEM through Gaelic and to meet members of the Education Scotland STEM team.
Please note that every Gaelic provision in Scotland has two places reserved for a strategic/middle leader and classroom practitioner respectively to attend on behalf of their school or setting.

Education Scotland aims to have an inclusive environment for all participants, by identifying and removing barriers in our practices.
