The Young Heroes: Na Gaisgich Òga

Na Gaisgich Òga is a Gaelic mentorship program for youth, run by Colaisde na Gàidhlig that gives students the opportunity to improve their language skills, participate in Gaelic culture, meet local Gaelic speakers, and connect with the local Gaelic communities.

Fuaran is an initiative established by Fèisean nan Gàidheal in Scotland to encourage a new generation of Gaelic speakers and singers to engage in the research and collection of Gaelic songs in their local area. This afternoon’s concert brings these young heroes from Cape Breton and Scotland together alongside other young learners, their mentors and more experienced, established players in the tradition.
