Gaelic Development will enable us to invest in our highly skilled team of tutors and improve the current Gaelic learning offer we provide to our Gaelic community.CPD – Tutor DevelopmentAs we continue to invest in Speak Gaelic courses, it is vital for tutors to become involved to ensure the ongoing success of this. Demand for classes at a variety of levels is growing, in order for tutors to be comfortable and confident in delivery further investment is required in Speak Gaelic and learning materials. Feedback from existing learners has been very positive and we would like to upskill our tutors through regular meetings to discuss best practice and peer support. This will also allow more experienced tutors to support new members of our team, allowing us to strengthen the capacity of Gaelic tutors citywide. Our ultimate aim is to invest in our team which will improve the quality and quantity of our Gaelic learning offer to our Gaelic community.

The Gaelic Arts Strategy (2018-22: now extended to 2024) is designed to enhance the creative opportunities for Gaelic in Glasgow, and to create work of the highest artistic quality that appeals to a growing and diverse audience. Delivery of the Strategy enriches the life of the city, and the lives of the many Gaelic speakers who live in and visit Glasgow. In 2023/24, with Gaelic Plans Fund support, we propose to write the next GAS 24-28 in line with Glasgow City Council draft Gaelic Plan https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=43876&p=0 and we will deliver year 6 of the current GAS continuing to deliver and develop: ·       GUIR! - 3 Gaelic Artist Residencies; ·       The Gaelic Sector steering group to create a new community model for Glaschu.net; ·       Gaelic Content within the city’s major festivals. The programme for 23/24 so far includes: UCI Championships Cultural Programme, Celtic Connections (incl.Fèis nan Deugairean & Story of Gaelic Glasgow); Aye Write Gaelic programme; Mela (2-3 Gaelic Artists); Glasgow International Gaelic Development; and Merchant City Festival, Gaelic Song Trail; ·       MOD 2019 legacy projects: Gaelic Drama Community Group; Litir gu Glaschu creative writing competition; (and projects like Bard Baille Ghlaschu and Sandy Moffatt painting); ·       Fèis Ghàidhlig Ghlaschu and Sgoil Ghàidhlig Ghlaschu offering opportunities for young people developing Gaelic music; ·       Gaelic strands within mainstream Arts programme including the next iteration of the Artist-in-Communities programme and Family Cèilidh’s Community Touring across venues in the East, South and North of the city. ·       Trainnee Gaelic speaking producer

Conversation Plus will build on the highly successful Còmhradh is Ceistean session utilising the strengths of the online learning offer to allow learners to consolidate their language skills with additional support in between classes.  Through these sessions the project aims resolve that issue which we have found improves their Gaelic skills. Another feature that we would like to include is guest speakers to provide sessions on a wide range of topics chosen by our learners to encourage them to improve their language skills and further explore Gaelic culture, both traditional and contemporary aspects. Finally, for our adult learners, we would like to provide 4 larger scale learning events this year.  Using our online learning platforms, learners can come together to explore their language skills with tutors from a variety of regions.  Allowing them to discover the depth and richness to the Gaelic language through differing dialects. Also, we hope to widen access to Gaelic learning for the next generation.  Through this project our Gaelic Bookbug sessions would allow us to support parents and pre5 learners to begin their Gaelic journey.  To support our family learning, we hope to provide language classes for parents of children joining Gaelic Primary Schools across Glasgow (P1).  Securing and increasing the Gaelic community for years to come. In line with our commitment to bring a CLD approach to Gaelic learning, we would look for funding for 20 individuals to take part in a level across the year. These places would be allocated to those meeting any one of the following criteria: ·         Adults living within the most deprived areas in Glasgow (most deprived 10% as recorded by the SIMD) ·         Adults from Minority Ethnic communities ·         Young adults that meet the criteria for Young People’s Guarantee ·         Young adult that are care experienced Funding would allow those participating the opportunity to complete SpeakGaelic A1 Part 1 and 2.  This is an innovative element of Conversation Plus to widen access to Gaelic learning to communities in Glasgow that may experience barriers to engaging with our programmes.  By eliminating financial barriers, especially during the cost of living crisis and proactively recruiting from underrepresented communities we strive for inclusivity within our Gaelic learning programmes. In addition to this, we would like to deliver taster sessions in community venues across Glasgow. Tutors would provide informal learning in a warm and relaxed atmosphere to give an insight into the Gaelic language and encourage interest in our formalised learning programmes and the Gaelic community as a whole. Còmhradh is Ceistean has proven that we can attract and retain increasing audiences both in Scotland and internationally, this established online community would be the backbone of project and we would hope that the experienced learners would support the new learners.  With a view to increase their language skills and foster a love of Gaelic community and culture.

Digi4al will offer digital learning opportunities at our community day clubs for the first time. Adults who attend our community day clubs have varying degrees of additional support need including those with mental health issues, dementia and some with physical disabilities. Glasgow has the highest level of disability across age groups when compared to other Scottish cities. This project will allow us to work with our current group, and newly recruited participants, and introduce them to basic digital skills. This will help to overcome current limitations and give participants and their carers the confidence to develop lifelong skills and confidence to take part in further digital activities in their own time. The digital skills programme will include: • Getting to grips with tablets/smartphones a basic introduction to ICT • Set up of email, online social media sites, banking and online shopping • Staying safe whilst using the internet Digi4al take place in our community centres and libraries, making use of our free public Wi-Fi. Up to date tablets will provide ongoing support to the club and individuals after the digital learning programme is completed. We will also encourage Digi4al participants to access our online library service by delivering additional training sessions that are outwith the remit of this project. This will enable members of the day clubs to access free books, magazines and music online either through their own devices or on the tablets while in our venues.
