Our annu­al Gael­ic Lan­guage Plan activ­it­ies include: • Pro­mo­tion of spe­cif­ic Gael­ic sup­port mater­i­als, includ­ing our Gael­ic as an Asset online toolkit, Her­it­age Inter­pret­a­tion toolkit, Shinty Trail case study, and oth­er rel­ev­ant resources includ­ing Lit­er­ary Land­scapes and our Gael­ic place names map. • The use of Gael­ic sig­nage inside and out­side the Park Authority’s offices, plus bilin­gual logo used on our ranger vehicles. • Mon­it­or­ing of Gael­ic enquir­ies received by the Park Author­ity, plus accom­pa­ny­ing front office guid­ance and train­ing. • Intern­al sup­port and advice provided to staff mem­bers on trans­la­tion and the applic­a­tion of Gael­ic. • Increased Gael­ic con­tent on the Park Author­ity web­site and reg­u­lar Gael­ic social media con­tent. • Sup­port­ing extern­al ini­ti­at­ives such as the Badenoch Great Place Pro­ject to jointly tell the story of the Nation­al Park’s nat­ur­al and cul­tur­al her­it­age, of which Gael­ic is a key ele­ment. • Hos­ted a Gael­ic intern for two years to devel­op spe­cif­ic resources and comms materials.
