Turas (360G-BNG-CC-2023-00689)

Following a visit to Conemara last September to attend the Ár gConair event organised by the British Irish Council,  Fèisean nan Gàidheal would like to use the connections made to establish a new cultural exchange project for fluent Gaelic and Irish speaking young people. Recognising that both groups face a reduction in participant numbers in the 12 - 16 age group, the project will involve the two organisations working together to create a new project which will give those participants a unique cultural experience. Building on the experience from previous exchange projects, the aim of Turas is to take away any element of formal performance therefore reducing the pressure on participants and allowing them the space to develop their skills, explore their shared heritage and culture in a relaxed an meaningful way.
