Díseart Institute of Education and Celtic Culture was founded in 1996 in the heart of Corca Dhuibhne - the Dingle Peninsula Gaeltacht (Irish speaking) and strives to promote research, courses and cultural activities in all areas of native and Celtic Culture including theology, language, literature, art, laws, folklore, values, spirituality, history, music, archaeology and customs.

Díseart is one of the first community initiatives for third-level accredited courses in the Gaeltacht and it is currently the only institution in Ireland offering such a selection of courses to students while at the same time focusing on developing and strengthening the Irish language, the culture and the traditions of the Gaeltacht region. Currently Díseart offers a range of third-level courses to visitors and locals alike, including weekend and weekly classes to Certificate and Diploma level. All of the courses welcome students from Ireland and around the world to explore the breathtaking scenery and experience the rich and vibrant traditions of this Gaeltacht area of West Kerry, with field trips and visits to the Blasket Islands and Skellig Michil an integral part of the variety of programmes on offer.

Díseart has also established a rich cultural programme providing facilities for the local community and visitors. This has included an artist-in-residence scheme and a number of exhibitions. Díseart's cultural programme is punctuated by the celebration of the four ancient Celtic festivals: Imbolg (Lá 'le Bride), Bealtaine, Lúnasa and Samhain. These festivals bring together drama, storytelling, concerts, poetry readings, art exhibitions, liturgies, walks and pilgrimages, traditional crafts and music sessions.

Díseart are in parnership with Sacred Heart University in offering a number of courses. Theology & Native Irish Spirituality, Music, Irish Language, Archaeology & Folklore and Anthropology are the courses currently being offered.
