Ar Beatha dhan Dùthaich

Homecoming Scotland 2009. This seminar showcases an interdisciplinary project where 3 South Uist primary schools explored Gaelic culture, island heritage and the local environment and its impact on the local community. New technologies, enterprise, citizenship and creativity were central to the project. Whilst planning and implementing the project teachers engaged with the new experiences and outcomes for Curriculum for Excellence.  Some collaboration was also done via Glow. 

The teachers and pupils will provide information about the project and the steps they took to produce their end product. They will also share thoughts on how using Glow can bring Gaelic communities closer and allows the children to speak Gaelic in a everyday contexts.
