Oideas
Gael
Oideas Gael is based in Gleann Cholm Cille in County Donegal.
It was founded in 1984 to promote the learning and use
of Irish and to foster Irish culture within the Gaeltacht
and elsewhere. The annual programme of courses and events
achieves the further aim of bringing together people of
Irish and other Celtic backgrounds to participate in everyday
Gaeltacht life, improve their fluency in Irish and enjoy
the living culture.
Courses are held between mid-June and early September
and at other times during the year as well. Each year
they attract learners from all over Ireland and Britain,
as well as from countries such as the United States, Canada,
Japan, Australia and virtually every Western European
country.
Each course contains three or more levels - beginner,
intermediate and advanced, and usually lasts a week. There
are also cultural activity courses available in traditional
music and singing, set-dancing, archaeology, hill-walking,
painting and tapestry weaving.
