DERRY City and Strabane District Council have marked World Book Day and Seachtain na Gaeilge (Irish Language Week) by hosting a storytelling event ‘Lúcháir Leabhar – The Delight of Books’ in the Guildhall.
Irish Language Week offers an opportunity to learners of Irish and fluent speakers alike to celebrate their love of the language, with a focus on community events that promote the everyday use of Irish in everyday settings.
This year’s programme includes a range of events which offer opportunities to use your Irish including: the Fáinne scheme, a celebration of World Book Day, a celebration of International Women’s Day, family events, conversation circle, a Pop-up Gaeltacht and all culminating with the St Patrick’s Day Spring Carnival on Tuesday, March 17.
