Kaneen Bursaries, 2018
Thu, 22 Feb 2018
Culture Vannin is pleased to invite applications from young fluent speakers of Manx Gaelic aged 18-30 to attend a summer school in Irish language and culture run by Oideas Gael in Donegal during the summer of 2018. Two bursaries will be available and will cover all travel and accommodation costs to the selected summer school on confirmation of a place, to a set maximum.
Bursary holders will be expected to write or record a blog in Manx Gaelic on their return.
Manxman and academic, Professor Brian Kaneen was a professor and lecturer in German and Linguistics at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. A keen supporter of Esperanto, these bursaries reflect his wish to develop a wider understanding of the Gaelic continuum amongst young Manx speakers.
The course runs from Saturday to Saturday most weeks in July and August and the Language and Culture course from 21st-28th July. Applicants should fulfil the following criteria:
