Gaelic Language & Culture Taster Sessions

As part of its commitment to increasing Gaelic awareness amongst its staff and students, the University runs a number of Gaelic Language & Culture Taster sessions throughout the year.

The sessions deal with a variety of issues regarding the language, its history and place in Scotland and in Edinburgh, and its legacy and culture.

Session content

The session will cover the following topics:

  • The Celtic languages
  • Gaelic in Scotland
  • The Gaelic Language Act and Gaelic Plans
  • Some simple Gaelic words and phrases
  • Gaelic at the University
  • Gaelic place names
  • Gaelic in Edinburgh
  • Gaelic traditions
  • How to get involved with or learn Gaelic

The sessions are one hour long and will be offered at different locations across the University in hopes that as many staff and students as possible will be able to attend.

Dates

Sessions will run at specific points throughout the year and will be advertised on the University's Gaelic social media pages.
