Air a stèidheachadh ann an 2022 agus air a maoineachadh le Bòrd na Gàidhlig, tha Seachdain na Gàidhlig a’ comharrachadh na Gàidhlig air feadh an t-saoghail agus a’ togail ìomhaigh na Gàidhlig tro iomairtean coimhearsnachd, co-obrachdh sgoiltean, agus phrògram de thachartasan tarraingeach.
Bidh sinn a’ cumail chlasaichean còmhraidh Gàidhlig air-loidhne agus aghaidh ri aghaidh, bùth-obrach sgrìobhaidh le Calum L. MacLeòid, agus a’ cur air bhog Taigh Cèilidh Inbhir Pheofharain — feasgar de dh’òrain Ghàidhlig, còmhradh agus ceòl.
