About Cuisle
The development of youth arts in the Gaeltacht is one of the measures outlined in the Irish Language Action Plan 2018-2022 as part of the 20 Year Strategy for the Irish Language, launched by the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (DCHG) in June 2018.
Ealaín (na Gaeltachta) Teo. is working with the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht to implement this measure which supports the Language Planning Process and the Gaeltacht School Recognition scheme. As part of this program, every effort will be made to progressively develop the provision of a comprehensive youth arts programme, inclusive of music, dance, song and oral arts classes throughout all Gaeltacht areas.
Classes in Connemara and the Aran Islands.
Ealaín na Gaeltachta is delighted to have the opportunity, through the Cuisle program, to increase the opportunities for young people in the Connemara Gaeltacht. Ealaín na Gaeltachta works with a panel of artists to provide classes in traditional music, oral arts, dance and sean-nós singing during and after school.
Ealaín na Gaeltachta invites schools to contact us if they would like to avail of the opportunity to participate in traditional youth arts classes for the 20220-2021 school year.
