Air Splaoid - Discover Gaelic

19th February 2007

Air Splaoid! is an exciting new campaign to encourage everyone to learn Gaelic. It will be available during Highland 2007, the year when Scotland celebrates Highland culture.

Air Splaoid! gives you the chance to take part in a virtual tour attending different events during Highland 2007. On-line there will be a year-long Gaelic course consisting of twelve lessons packed with fun, games and brilliant animations.

When you take part you will choose a character to follow around the Highlands as they travel from event to event during Highland 2007. Your learning will be made easy using fun activities interspersed with snippets of cultural and historical information. Everything you need will be available online making this a different learning experience.

The project aims to:

give people the chance to learn Gaelic
promote wider access to Gaelic across Scotland
increase the number of Gaelic speakers in the long-term
dispel myths and preconceptions about the Gaelic language and culture
