Feachtas is a youth organisation that looks to make social spaces available for young people through Irish. We promote Irish amongst young people and support their personal and scoial development through a substantial, enjoyable, and challenging programe. Learn more about Feactas' story here! 

​

Youth clubs

​

Our clubs meet once a week and the young people have meetings, activities, trips, games, and sports. It is a great opportunity for them to meet with one another in a safe space and to build friendships through Irish. The club gives young people a chance to learn and  develop new skills through practical experience and their spirits are raised through being independent and doing things for themselves. Through the club, they receive the opportunity to try out new activities and experiences!
