Abair gun robh Seachdain na Gàidhlig air leth againn! Ghabh barrachd air 170 tachartas àite ann 27 sgìre chomhairle air feadh na h-Alba, le còrr agus 40,000 compàrtaiche agus neach-frithealaidh.  Chan ann a-mhàin ann an Alba a bha daoine a’ dèanamh luaidh air a’ Ghàidhlig, ach ann an Argentina, Astràilia, Canada, Eilean Mhanainn, Èirinn, Sasainn, Sealan Nuadh, san Fhionnlann, sa Ghearmailt agus sna Stàitean Aonaichte. Dha-rìribh, ’s e cànan agus cultar eadar-nàiseanta a th’ anns a’ Ghàidhlig.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ceanglaichean Gun Chrìch – agus Gun Chrìochan
Ged a bha an luchd-compàirt air an sgapadh fad is farsaing, tha sinn air ar ceangal le as cànan agus gu digiteach. Bha #SeachdainNaGàidhlig, #CeanglaicheanGunCrìch, #LàAbairtNaGàidhlig agus #LNLTGàidhlig a’ lìonadh na meadhan sòisealta fad na seachdanach! Bha na mìltean an làthair aig tachartasan (eadar tachartasan ann an coimhearsnachd, tachartasan air loidhne agus na seiseanan sgoile), agus bha na deich mìltean de ‘sheallaidhean’ againn air na meadhanan sòisealta – a’ sreap ri 200,000 ‘sealladh’!

Inbhe na Gàidhlig

Fhuair sinn cuideachadh o na ceudan gus inbhe agus cliù na Gàidhlig a thogail, agus tha sinn taingeil airson gach neach a thug taic dhuinn. Bha sinn air ar dòigh taic fhaighinn o chuid aig a bheil inbhe agus leantainn mhòr gu pearsanta airson an cuid taic agus airson Gàidhlig a thoirt gu aire an t-sluaigh. Nam measg, bha Ailean Cuimeanach, Eunice Olumide, Dougray Scott, Jai McDowall, Michelle McManus, Chanel O’ Conor, Alistair Heather, Phil McHugh, Ceitidh NicÌomhair agus Gareth Gates.

The hashtags #SeachdainNaGàidhlig, #CeanglaicheanGunCrìch, #LàAbairtNaGàidhlig and #LNLTGàidhlig were filling social media all week! Thousands attended events (whether in-person, online or the school sessions), and we had tens of thousands of views on our social media platforms – close to 200,000 views across the week!
