Seachdain na Gàidhlig
World Gaelic Week
Seachdain na Gàidhlig is facilitated by Hands Up for Trad, Scottish Charity No 035 190.
Accessible and inclusive Conversation cafés and a Board Game evening in Farr and Daviot Halls, with
flash cards and posters displaying Gaelic terms and phrases for the produce and service. Gaelic local
volunteers will facilitate and encourage learners and fluent speakers to use Gaelic, to interact, across
generations, in a relaxed but focused manner. Participants will be encouraged to explore how to meet their
needs to continue engagement with Gaelic. At the second of these cafés, there will be workshops for both
adults and younger people, with complementary Bookbug, to explore and gauge interest in the plans for
the centre and confirmation of levels of participation in classes, activities and events, confirming ongoing
impacts. There will be a tour of Dunlichity graveyard to identify some of the Strathnairners who fought at
Culloden and to hear their stories. Complementing this, walks into the lands of the strath led by a
knowledgeable guide will identify some of the local historical places, some of which are being lost to
English language versions.
