  • Gaelic Language Plan 2019-2023-English
    East Ayrshire Council DRAFT GAELIC LANGUAGE PLAN 2019-2023 Prepared under Section 3 of the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005. 1 FOREWORD East Ayrshire Council recognises the value of the Gaelic language to our national culture and heritage and we are committed to working with our Community Planning Partners, Bòrd na Gàidhlig and others, to safeguard the Gaelic language, heritage and culture for future generations and wherever possible, to develop use of the language. This is our second Gaelic Language Plan and the actions contained herein build upon the good progress made during the lifetime of our first Plan, which ran from 2014 – 2018 and saw a strong focus on actions for our young people and members of the community. We have worked closely with individuals and community organisations to deliver on our Plan and to ensure that their interests and views are represented in our new Gaelic Language Plan. Gaelic learning has increased in East Ayrshire over the last five years and all Gaelic Medium Education, for pupils aged 3 to 18 years, is provided at our Gaelic School, Sgoil na Coille Nuaidh, part of the new William McIlvanney Campus. With bilingual signage throughout the Campus, there are numerous opportunities for pupils to become more familiar with the Gaelic language. Community based learning and opportunities have also increased, providing various levels of learning and the Council has continued to extend the visibility of Gaelic through bilingual street and boundary signs and an update to the Council logo. The Gaelic Language Plan 2019 – 2023 details how the Council will continue to support the objectives of the National Plan for Gaelic over the next five years and sets out how we will meet our obligations to ensure our communities, stakeholders and partners recognise our ongoing progress to promote and use Gaelic.
