*April 2021: An online version of the Seó Bóthair will be available between April and the end of the school year. Register for the 'Seó Scoile' here.
*As a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic we have made changes to the ‘Seó Bóthair’ to make it safely accessible to everyone. We have 2 options for the Seó Bóthair this year. *
What is the Seó Bóthair roadshow?
The Seó Bóthair roadshow is an interactive workshop which makes use of games, discussion and debates to promote the Irish language in a positive way. We discuss where Irish can be used, about their language rights agus there will be a lot of prizes to give out!
The roadshow is continually being developed with more schools taking part every year.
Who is it for? The roadshow is suitable for secondary students aged between 16-18 – students who attend a Gaelcholáiste or English-language Secondary Schools, within or outside of the Gaeltacht. No need to worry about the standard of Irish the students have, the roadshow can be done bilingually if necessary.
What is the aim of the Road Show?
We aim to encourage and empower students to use their Irish more often, both inside and outside of school.We also want to inform students firstly of the advantages and opportunities with which the Irish language can provide them, and also of the growth of the language and the various language campaigns which are going on around the country.
How much does it cost?
To help schools during this challenging time there will be no charge for the Seó Bóthair if you register interest before April 16th.
Téama 2020/21: An Ghaeilge i do Thodhchaí
There are plenty of jobs working with the Irish language in Ireland and abroad. We want to share info with secondary level students about the opportunities are and how to get where they want to be - letting them know about 3rd level courses and what jobs tie in well with those courses.
We hope this will inspire students to consider the advantages there are in speaking Irish before they follow their own path.
Please choose one of the following versions of the Seó Bóthair:
