North Uist Wellbeing Project Gaelic Review

Newly appointed CIALL manager and researcher Gordon Wells has reviewed online the UHI contribution to North Uist Historical Society's wellbeing project "Aire air Sunnd" ("Attention to Wellbeing").

His 15-minute presentation through Island Voices is verbally delivered in Gaelic, addressing the core audience in the traditional language of the community. Non-speakers or early learners of Gaelic will also be able to follow the talk by accessing various tools available online, which are themselves part of the digital focus of interest that the project seeks to explore. Gordon's talk builds on an earlier presentation given by project partners in Aberdeen University which gives an introductory summary of findings, with special reference to Gaelic, from the community survey that formed a key part of the overall project.
