The Royal National Mòd will be held in Dunoon this year, in October and is among the events receiving funding to stage initiatives to mark this special year. James Graham, Mòd Manager, said: ‘This the Year of Young People, and, more than ever, we want to contribute to this special year by encouraging our young people to become involved in the Gaelic Arts. It’s extremely pleasing to see them taking part at local and national Mòds as our young people are crucial to the language.’
An Comunn Gàidhealach, the committee which runs the Mòd is establishing a committee of six young adults aged 16-26 to be a part of our new Young Person’s Committee that is being established as part of 2018’s Year of Young People in Scotland.
The committee will meet a total of four times via the phone or Skype in the run up to the Royal National Mòd which will be held in Dunoon in October this year. The committee will discuss their views on what they would like to see at The Royal National Mòd and will be assigned a number of projects to see through from start to finish as a team in the run-up to the Mòd.
