Sabhal Mòr Ostaig (Gaelic College) Isle of Skye
Thurs 3rd May
Exchanging experiences on cultural revitalisation and the importance of mother tongue language and culture in community-led development.
This is an internal event for staff and students of Sabhal Mòr Ostaig (Gaelic College) Isle of Skye. During the event Misak leaders Jeremias Tunubala, Liliana Pechene Muelas and academics from Sabhal Mòr Ostaig will host a conversation to exchange knowledge and share information on cultural revitalisation and the importance of mother tongue language and culture in community-led development. This event is part of a tour of several events in Scotland during April and May 2018.
Sabhal Mòr Ostaig is a partner college of the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) and is recognised as the National Centre for the Gaelic Language and Culture. At the heart of the College’s mission is the maintenance and revitalisation of the Gaelic language and culture and this is achieved through the excellence of its teaching and research and through economic development and cultural engagement. The College’s success in these fields is enhanced through co-operative links with the wider Gaelic community and by further developing the College’s international reach.
We’d appreciate your support to help make the tour happen. We’re looking to cover a short fall in funding through a crowdfunder - have a look here and contribute if you can!
