Pop Up Gaeltacht
☘️Déanaimid iarracht Pop Up Gaeltacht a dheanamh sa lár i mBaile Átha Cliath. Don't worry if your Irish isn't the best. Tá sé oscailte to gach duine who wants to give irish a go! 🙌 Beidh sé saor in aisce. The event starts at 7pm and we'll place you in the specific Pop Up Gaeltacht groups. You won't miss us, there will be a big sign with "Pop up Gaeltacht" written on it!
Ag tnúth le bualadh libh! ✌️💚
**Cad is Pop-Up Gaeltacht ann?**
Is cruinniú neamhfhoirmiúil é Pop-Up Gaeltacht de chainteoirí Gaeilge ar leibhéil éagsúla (go minic i mbeár) áit ar féidir leo bualadh le chéile agus comhrá a dhéanamh in atmaisféar cairdiúil. I mBaile Átha Cliath is féidir le suas le 300 duine freastal ar chruinnithe mar seo, agus reáchtáladh imeachtaí den chineál céanna thar lear freisin. Tá an bealach isteach saor in aisce agus tá fáilte roimh gach leibhéal.
**What is a Pop Up Gaeltacht?**
A Pop-Up Gaeltacht is an informal gathering of Irish speakers of various abilities (often in a bar) where they can meet and talk in a convivial atmosphere. In Dublin such gatherings can number up to 300 people, and similar events have been held abroad. Entrance is free and all levels are welcome.
**Cé hé Flip Lingoes?**
Eagraímid malartuithe teanga gach seachtain, ach uair sa bhliain eagraímid Pop-Up Gaeltacht chun an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn agus chun tacú léi. Tá Pop-Up Gaeltachtaí eagraithe againn thar lear, agus seo an chéad cheann againn i mBaile Átha Cliath!
Tá súil againn go gcabhróidh sibh linn an Ghaeilge a thabhairt chun beatha — táimid ag tnúth go mór leis! 🇮🇪
**Who is Flip Lingoes?**
We organise weekly language exchanges but once a year we do a Pop Up Gaeltacht to promote and support the Irish language. We have organised PoP up Gaeltacht's abroad and this will be our first one in Dublin! We hope you can help us bring the Irish language to life, we're really looking forward to it!
Zumba Fun Hour
An hour of fun and dancing with a side of fitness. Come along and have some fun 🙌🏽🙌🏽😊😊
Let’s go for Thai Dinner 18th March
Thai Food brings people together and why not join us this Wednesday for good food and new friends .
📚 Silent Reading & Socialising 🍺
## Details
The title of the event is a paradox! Read in silence and then discuss with like-minded folks! :-)
📝 **How does this work?**
We will meet in the Bartley's Restaurant area from 7:00 PM to 8:15 PM for silent reading and followed up by discussion. **During silent reading, you're expected to remain silent and read.** Please bring your headphones and refrain from the discussion during the first one hour in the area.
👥 **Socialising**
After an hour, at 8:15 PM, we'll discuss and socialize about the book you're reading. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event!
Feel free to join at any point during the event.
The event is indoors, hopefully, we can continue the tradition of the silent reading in the winter!
**📌 Helpful Tips and Notes**
* Bring headphones to block out surrounding noise
* I will post a comment on the event page when I arrive to indicate where we're seated, so everyone can find us
* If you prefer to skip the silent reading, you can join directly at the bar at 8:15 PM
⚠️**Something Happened?**
If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. It may be small but don't hesitate to reach out to me.
Looking forward to meeting you all 😊
