First academic conference done - two more to go 😬😬

Had a blast at #CelticStudentsConference2025 in #Aberystwyth. Really cool talks in #Cymraeg, #Gàidhlig, #Gaeilge and #Brezhoneg (and English, obvs).

Better pull my finger out before #Dublin next year... 🍷🇮🇪

Diolch @celticstudents.bsky.social !

It's conference week! 🎉

GET INVOLVED!
We will elect a new committee at the AGM at the end of the conference. This election is very important, as without students volunteering their time, the Association and the Celtic Students Conference would not exist. We really appreciate any contribution!
