Colmcille is a partnership between Foras na Gaeilge in Ireland and Bòrd na Gàidhlig in Scotland. It fosters communication and collaboration between the language communities of Scottish and Irish Gaelic.

This year’s scheme will particularly look to support projects which:
- Promote the use of Gaelic or Irish through the arts
- Use heritage to bring Gaelic/Irish communities together and promote the status of the languages
- Bring young speakers of Gaelic and Irish together through events and school projects/trips
- Promote communication and sharing of knowledge and best practice among Gaelic and Irish speakers
