The Conference is being jointly organised between Comhairle nan Eilean Siar and Bòrd na Gaidhlig and will focus on the way forward for Gaelic. Councillor Agnes Rennie, Chairperson of the Comhairle’s Gaelic Committee, said – “The Comhairle is pleased to be working with Bòrd na Gaidhlig to organise this important National Conference at a vital time for Gaelic in Scotland. The Conference theme is the Way Forward for Gaelic with particular emphasis on the role of communities and young people in revitalizing the language. The keynote speech at the Conference will be delivered by Linda Fabiani, the Minister for Europe, External affairs, Culture and Gaelic”. Bòrd na Gàidhlig’s Interim Chair, Arthur Cormack, said – “The place of communities is central to Gaelic and its revitalisation. Nowadays, ‘community’ means different things to different people but whether they are in a rural or urban setting, or consist of small groups within larger communities, those who wish to should be able to use Gaelic and should be encouraged to do so. Bòrd na Gàidhlig wishes to make the delivery of the National Plan for Gaelic relevant to as many people as possible and one way to ensure this is to engage more directly with communities of all kinds. We are therefore very pleased to be part of a conference in a Gaelic community which we hope will attract people from many communities across Scotand.” Nigel Scott Tel: 01851 709389 (Work) |
