Education and Youth work
Science Ceilidh supports educators and young people in a variety of ways such as delivering professional development sessions and creating free teaching and learning resources. We also deliver school workshops exploring science and creativity and host masters students on placement from University of Edinburgh and University of St. Andrews.
We focus our workshops, resources and training upon creativity, science, movement, music and art. Naturally, you’ll find ceilidh music and dance is an optional element of much of our programming and resources as well!

featured RESOURCE: Wilbert the whale
Where's Wilbert's Voice is an interdisciplinary resource for 1st/2nd level Curriculum for Excellence learners. It aims to show learners that physics and music are not so far apart as they may initially seem to be.
It tells the story of a whale, Wilbert, as he loses his voice and alongside his mother travels around the underwater neighbourhood to find it. Along the way Wilbert gets help from lots of different animals who each teach him about how a different instrument makes noise. There are also discussions of ocean pollution in the story, through rubbish and noise.
featured training: CLPL/CPD Training
1) Interdisciplinary Activities: Sharing different hands-on activities linking science, music and arts creatively, relevant in formal and informal education contexts and also sharing our experience in diverse community, youth and additional support need settings.
2) Interdisciplinary Strategies: Sharing and putting into practice our approach of exploring STEM, health and wellbeing through movement, traditional dance and expressive arts.
3) Interdisciplinary Understanding: Exploring questions on the research around the science of learning, creativity and health and wellbeing (particularly from a neuroscience perspective) to have better understanding of this in practice.
We will also provide take-away resources building on both of these components with further examples, support and reading, and have some active reflection encouraging teachers to plan how they might be able to embed these strategies and understandings into practice in their schools.
