WHAT WE DO

After reviewing the Nova Scotia EECD outcomes and talking with teachers, we developed a fun, interactive, and engaging presentation giving an overview of Nova Scotia's Gaelic culture and the influence Gaels have had on both our past and our present. During the hour your students might

  • learn some Gaelic phrases
  • view a Powerpoint presentation 
  • sing a milling song and 'mill' a cloth
  • dance a few steps
  • try on a great kilt
  • listen to live fiddle tunes
  • 'read' some Gaelic books
 
 
We have hour long presentations adapted for different age groups from Primary to grade 12; we can also teach a square set figure or two to your Phys. Ed. class, or sing and play fiddle tunes with your Music class!

We've had the opportunity to speak with over 10,000 students and educators in Nova Scotia.  Here's what they've had to say:

"What an amazing day today. Every teacher was thrilled with the caliber of the girls’ presentation. They are natural, confident teachers. They ran a flawless program and are very knowledgeable. The kids all loved it, too."

"(Abby and Ella) are professional, engaging, and well informed about this area of heritage that is often overlooked in our classrooms."

"I was fortunate enough to have these two talented girls present the Gaelic culture to my grade one/two class. A well prepared, organized, balanced presentation with hands on activities to engage young ones through several forms of culture."
