Two Voices, One Message:
Including Gaelic in Interpretation

VSG Seminar
Inverness Museum & Art Gallery
11th April 2008

This seminar will investigate some of the challenges and opportunities involved in bi-lingual interpretation, as well as the legislation framework involved through the National Plan for Gaelic. With new requirements to include Gaelic in exhibition interpretation, many organisations will need to carry out consultation and evaluation. The seminar will focus on this through case studies sharing best practice, and including solutions to carrying out consultation and evaluation with limited resources.

Presentations highlighted in bold in the programme are available as downloads at the bottom of this page.
