Ambition: More young people confidently use Gaelic in life, school and work and are encouraged to live and work in Uist into adulthood.

Our Community

Uist 2030 is a community-led effort to protect, strengthen and grow Gaelic in Uist. It’s for fluent speakers, learners, families, young people, newcomers and long-time residents – anyone who uses or supports Gaelic, at home or away. It’s also for local groups, public bodies and service providers – those with a role in ensuring Gaelic continues to be a living language across our islands – to encourage them to get involved and to work together to deliver on their own Gaelic Plan commitments.

OUR VISION FOR 2030

Managing the Plan

The Steering Group will lead the delivery of the plan, but our communities need to take ownership and get involved in the action. The group will meet regularly to track progress and update actions as needed. A representative from Sgoil Lioncleit will be included in the Steering Group.

https://gaidhliguibhist.scot/ will act as a central point for updates, practical tools, and examples of what’s working. It will also help individuals, groups, and organisations find ways to contribute or lead on particular actions. Social media and and regular updates on the Ceòlas FB site will help keep Plana Gàidhlig Uibhist visible and connected to the wider community.

Local ambassadors will be appointed across the islands to encourage progress and to share progress on social media.

The aim is steady, continuing and practical progress and not just a one-off campaign soon put aside. By involving individuals, communities, and working closely with local organisations and public bodies, we can create the conditions for Gaelic to be more present and more widely used in everyday life across Uist.
