Celtic Neighbours

Celtic Neighbours is the development agency supporting cultural collaborations between minoritised-language communities and groups across the Celtic world and more widely in Europe.

Y Fro/ The Neighbourhood is an active network of cultural and language-support organisations from smaller cultures across Europe. All of us are committed to working together for change, and all of us welcome interactions with new contacts and potential partners.

Y Fro exists to share and stimulate ideas and initiatives, and together to mount cultural projects that remove the sense of isolation affecting speakers of small languages.

 

Who we are...

We come from a range of organisations across Europe, drawn together by the desire to mount cultural projects that remove the sense of isolation that can affect speakers of small languages.

Mae’r Cymdogion Celtaidd yn asiantaeth sy’n hybu cydweithio diwylliannol rhwng gwledydd bychain Ewrop. Dechreuodd weithio yn 2005 yn y gwledydd Celtaidd ond erbyn hyn mae Cymdogion i’w cael mewn sawl gwlad Ewropeaidd arall sydd â’i hiaith wedi ei lleiafrifo. Byddwn ni’n gweithio trwy’n rhwydwaith o Gymdogion i ddod ag amrywiaeth unigryw o artistiaid, cymunedau a grŵpiau diwylliannol at ei gilydd mewn mentrau byrlymus a chymdeithasol sydd wedi eu harwain gan gymunedau. Yr amcan bob tro ydi sicrhau bod y nifer fwyaf posibl o bobl yn cymryd rhan, a datblygu cysylltiadau a chydweithio sy’n gynaliadwy i’r dyfodol.

Celtic Neighbours is in organisaasje dy't kulturele gearwurkingen yn de Keltyske wrâld, en yn Europa stimulearret. Sûnt 2005 hawwe wy dwaande west mei it stimulearjen fan kulturele gearwurkingen tusken mienskippen mei lytse talen. Us wurk bringt ferskillende keunstfoarmen byinoar, altyd mei it each op in sa'n grut mooglike partisipaasje en om bliuwende gearwurkingsferbannen ta stân te bringen. Wy soargje mei ús netwurk fan Europeeske partners foar dynamyske, ynteraktive, keunstinisjativen dy't droegen wurde troch de mienskip. Sa bringe wy in grut ferskaat oan keunstners, mienskippen en kulturele organisaasjes byinoar.
 
Tha Nàbannan Ceilteach na buidhinn-leasachaidh a tha toirt taic do cho-obrachadh eadar na dùthchannan Ceilteach, agus san Roinn Eòrpa. Bho 2005 tha sinn air a bhith ag obair gus co-obrachadh cultarach a bhrosnachadh eadar coimhearsnachdan mhion-chànanan. Bidh diofar mheadhanan ealain air an toirt còmhla tron obair againn, agus sinn daonnan ag iarraidh gun gabh nas urrainn de dhaoine pàirt sna h-iomairtean agus gun lean na ceanglaichean agus an com-pàirteachas. Bidh sinn ag obair còmhla ri ar luchd-compàirt bhoair feadh na h-Eòrpa gus iomairtean ealain brìoghmhor is com-pàirteach a chruthachadh lemuinntir na coimhearsnachd gan stiùireadh, iomairtean a bheir còmhla taghadh farsaing deluchd-ealain, choimhearsnachdan agus bhuidhnean cultarach.
