Over the years...

The first Ard Fheis na nÓg was held in Monaghan in 2019. With Students from Gaelcholáistí & Gaeltacht schools all across the country in attendance.

At the beginning of 2020, Ard-Fheis na nÓg grew to a 2 day overnight event in Ros Muc, Co. na Gaillimhe, where 80 students came together in February. The students enjoyed workshops, discussions and a trip to Teach an Phiarsaigh. 

In 2023, we were delighted host Ard Fheis na n-Óg in Gaoth Dobhair, Dún na nGall from 26-27 April 2023. With over 100 students from 20 schools across Ireland in attendance.

Here are a few clips of the disccussions that took place at Ard-Fheis 2023:
