You are invited to participate in a discussion about the future of the Gaelic language in and around Stornoway in the An Lanntair on Tue. 2nd Sept. 2025, 2:00 – 4:00pm.
The aim of the discussion will be to ascertain whether there is a desire and willingness on the part of local organisations and businesses to work together to maximise potential socio, cultural and economic opportunities related to Gaelic, and if there is, to identify next steps towards the creation of a strategy.
The format will be as follows:
Welcome
Introduce Arainn Steòrnabhaigh concept.
Group discussion: How does Arainn Steòrnabhaigh benefit from Gaelic currently?
Feedback
Group discussion: How could benefits from Gaelic be increased and expanded?
Feedback
Identify possible short-term actions for individual organisations / businesses.
Agree broad parameters for a long-term, strategic approach.
The approach will be practical and minimalistic in terms of bureaucracy.
We look forward to meeting you, especially if you haven’t been engaged in Gaelic related developments previously.
If you are able to attend, please e-mail donald.weir@cne-siar.gov.uk stating your name and the organisation, business that you represent.
