Seachtain na Gaeilge 3-17 March 2008
07-11-2007
I'm writing to remind you about Seachtain na Gaeilge, a festival that is organised all over the world every year in an effort to promote the Irish language and culture. The festival has been running for over a hundred years and runs for almost a fortnight in the days before St Patrick's Day, 3 – 17 March 2008.
We would really appreciate it, and it would help us a great deal, if you could organise events or point us in the direction of companies, agencies or clubs and groups that might have an interest in what we do here. Our aim is that Seachtain na Gaeilge will be internationally popular and those with Irish connections and an interest in the culture, will have the chance to give speaking their native tongue a try, or to have a taste of Irish culture if only once a year.
Groups organise events such as table quizzes, céilís and music sessions among many others. There are many possibilities during the festival and we welcome all with an interest to partake. Anyone who registers an event with us will receive support materials, posters, balloons, stickers, in the post.
The festival is not just for Gaeilgeoirí (Irish speakers). Take a look at our bilingual website www.snag.ie.
We look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
