SEAWEED WEEK

ON THE ISLE OF INIS MÓR, IRELAND
8. – 15. April 2012

Discover with us the wonderful world of algae on the shores of the beautiful island of Inis Mór. Doctor and algae specialist Prannie Rhatigan will show us how to harvest the plants sustainably. Depending on the level of the water we will find eight to ten different species of edible seaweed, get to know their names, and learn about the nutrients they contain. In the comfortable kitchen of Joe's house, we will prepare simple and tasty recipes with Prannie. With Mairtin Concannon we will collect more algae, which will be dried in his drying facilities ready for us to take home. There will also be time for nice walks through the exciting landscape of the island, to relax in the beautiful surroundings and to explore on your own.

"The marvellous Aran Islands, Connemara and the Burren with their archaeological treasures and magnificent cliffs were a paradise for me. I was able to acquaint this thanks to the Celtic Spirit Culture Weeks."
