Talented Manx linguists receive bursary for summer school

Culture Vannin has announced the first two recipients of its new bursary scheme. 

 

Money was donated by a Manxman and academic professor Brian Kaneen who was keen to see young Manx speakers given the opportunity to experience other Gaelic languages, especially Irish.

 

This bursary will enable the two young women to attend a summer school in Irish language and culture in Donegal.
