Scoil scairte: beo | hedge school: live

with Kathy Scott, Manchán Magan, Mairéad Ní Chonghaile,

Brendan Courtney, David O’Reilly & Clare Sands

Wednesday, Apr 17

7pm Irish | 2pm ET | 11am PT

You are warmly invited to join our FREE Scoil Scairte Discovery Circle in collaboration with Foras na Gaeilge as part of the Creidim Ionat co-initiative with RTÉ aimed at nurturing our relationship and everyday connection with the Irish language - An Ghaeilge.

Scoil Scairte is an award-winning cultural learning experience that weaves language, heritage, creativity, indigenous wisdom and kinship with individual, social and ecological wellbeing. More than an Irish class, Scoil Scairte is an immersion into the psyche and soul of a powerful language, culture, people and place and is made in collaboration with Manchán Magan (Writer, Presenter, Bee Keeper, Documentary-Maker) whose extraordinary bestselling book Thirty Two Words for Field has sparked a huge wave of grá (love) for our native language.

Scoil Scairte founder Kathy Scott says, “Something is rising. The tides are starting to turn. While Ireland is experiencing a cultural watershed moment we are witnessing a ground swell of reconnection with our ancestral language, practices and ways of seeing the world. People are realizing that our mother tongue is a cultural treasure.”

Join our Scoil Scairte faculty Kathy Scott (Host, Creative Director of The Trailblazery), Manchán Magan (Writer, Presenter, Bee Keeper, Documentary-Maker) and Mairéad Ní Chonghaile (Presenter, Actor, Múinteoir) with special guests Brendan Courtney (Presenter, Designer, Host of Any News? Podcast), David O’Reilly (Actor, Host of Any News? Podcast) and Clare Sands (Singer, Songwriter, Multi-Instrumentalist, Composer).

This free gathering also offers an opportunity to discover, taste and experience our Scoil Scairte self-paced edition now available at thetrailblazery.com. Our self-paced edition gives lifetime access to 22+ hours of content celebrating the very best of Irish language, heritage and culture and offers a pathway to dive into the Irish language at your own pace, in your own time, anywhere in the world.
