Fèis Obar Dheathain
Area
Aberdeen
Date
16 – 18 February 2008
Information
The committee held their annual Fèis 18 – 20 February with 85 young people taking part. Of these, 35 were fluent Gaelic speakers. Fèis Obar Dheathain chose to employ the Sgioba-G to assist with their Gaelic language input. This involved extracting participants from the other classes for a 45 minute session per day, the times determined both by their Gaelic ability and their age. In all, there were 5 classes, 2 for fluent speakers (older and younger) and 3 for learners (8 -10, 11– 12 and 13+). The Fèis took place at Harlaw Academy, which proved to be an excellent venue, with lots of class spaces and a large assembly hall where the final concert was held
