  • (To access this in the Irish language, click here)

    ’S e prògram ùr a tha seo a bheir cothrom do luchd-labhairt na Gàidhlig agus na Gaeilge buaidh a thoirt air leasachadh iomairt shòisealta agus dealbhadh cànain nan sgìrean.

    Cuidichidh am prògram stiùirichean gus tuigse fhaighinn air nàdar iomairtean sòisealta agus dealbhadh cànain a tha ag atharrachadh gu luath, agus am pàirt chudromach a dh’ fhaodas iad a ghabhail ann an leasachadh nan iomairtean sin, agus dèanamh cinnteach gu bheil iomairtean air an stiùireadh ann an dòigh a tha a’ smaoineachadh air a’ mhargaidh, agus a tha seasmhach agus co-obrachail aig an aon àm. Nì sinn sgrùdadh mionaideach air iomairtean sòisealta agus dealbhadh cànain, a’ taisbeanadh eisimpleirean practaigeach, agus a’ smaoineachadh air mar a tha iad a’ toirt buaidh air àitaichean agus air daoine eadar-dhealaichte.

    Bidh thu an sàs ann an ionnsachadh thar-chultarach gus tuigse fhaighinn air mar a tha leasanan bho Ghaeltacht na h-Èireann buntainneach don deasbad ann an Alba mu na ‘Areas of Linguistic Significance’ mar a tha air a mhìneachadh ann an Achd nan Cànanan Albannach 2025. Aig an aon àm, bidh luchd-ionnsachaidh Èireannach a’ ceangal ri daoine a tha ag obair ann an iomairtean sòisealta stèidhichte air àite aig a bheil ceangal làidir ris a’ Ghàidhlig ann an Alba agus a’ faighinn ionnsachadh ùr airson na co-theacsan aca fhèin.

    This is a ground-breaking new programme to enable Irish and Scottish Gaelic speakers to shape the development of social enterprise and language planning in their regions.

    The programme will help aspiring and current leaders to understand the rapidly changing nature of social enterprise and language planning, and the critical role they can play in the development of these, and ensure that initiatives are market-led, sustainable and collaborative. We will explore social enterprise and language planning in detail, presenting practical examples, and uncovering how they on your local place and people.

    You will engage in cross-cultural learning to understand how lessons from the Irish Gaeltacht are relevant to current discussion in Scotland around the 'Areas of Linguistic Significance' as outlined in the Scottish Languages Act 2025. Meanwhile, Irish learners will connect with those working in place-based social enterprises with a strong connection to the Gaelic language in Scotland and gain learning which can be applied in your own contexts.
