Mayo County Council and Gaeltacht Thuaisceart an Oileáin Úir (The North American Gaeltacht ) are giving an opportunity to two Gaeilgeoirí from or living in Mayo to work in Canada as a teacher for a week as part of a summer course from August 13 to 20, with their travel and accommodation provided.
Gaeltacht Thuaisceart an Oileáin Úir is situated in Tamworth/Erinsville Ontario, it opened on June 16 2007, when a group of people with a great fondness for the language and culture decided to buy a plot of land to create the first Gaeltacht outside Ireland. Their aim is to have an area where Irish is spoken as a community language and to provide an opportunity for people to immerse themselves in all aspects of Irish culture.
If you are over 21 years of age, have fluent Irish, experience in teaching and organising fun activities, and are interested in being part of the Gaeltacht Thuaisceart an Oileáin Úir 2017 experience, send your CV with a cover letter explaining what you can contribute to this year’s Gaeltacht course to [email protected] before 5pm on Friday, May 19.
