A’ Comharrachadh na Gàidhlig ann an Earra-Ghàidheal

To celebrate Seachdain na Gàidhlig / World Gaelic Week, 21-27 March 2022, CHARTS created a digital arts resource pack for Primary and Secondary School pupils in partnership with Gaelic Community Development, Argyll & Bute Council. The pack helped to promote Gaelic language, poetry and storytelling and was supported by Heritage Horizons, a CHARTS project in partnership with the Argyll & Bute Museum and Heritage Forum, which aimed to increase access to Gaelic for young people. 

Work produced by pupils was displayed during the celebration of Seachdain na Gàidhlig / World Gaelic Week and was showcased at TURAS held at Hermitage Park, Helensburgh, on 24 March 2022. 

Digital resource packs created for this project are still available as learning resources: 

Primary School Pack English / Gaelic

High School Pack English / Gaelic

“Bu mhath leam taing mhòr a thoirt do gach sgoilear agus tidsear a bha an sàs san fharpais seo. Abair dealbhan àlainn! Tha e air leth cudromach gun toir sinn cùram don àrainneachd phrìseil a tha againn ann an Earra-Ghàidheal agus gu bheil a’ Ghàidhlig aig cridhe na h-àrainneachd sin; agus gu dearbha 's e sin na rinn sibh sna dealbhan seo. Taing mhòr dhuibh uile.” - Alasdair Whyte
