Seachdain na Gàidhlig
World Gaelic Week
Seachdain na Gàidhlig is facilitated by Hands Up for Trad, Scottish Charity No 035 190.
To help teachers and young people engage with Seachdain na Gàidhlig, we have collated a comprehensive selection of resources in partnership with educational publishers, Twinkl Alba. The activities and resources include teacher planners, suggested content and activities aimed at both primary and secondary levels for both Gàidhlig medium and Gaelic Learners – ensuring that all children and teachers can get involved, whether they are fluent or just starting their journey with the language.
We will be running free, daily online workshops for Primary school age children, tailored to both English Medium Education (EME) and Gaelic Medium Education (GME) schools, throughout Seachdain na Gàidhlig (World Gaelic Week) from Monday 24th – Friday 28th February 2025.
