>With the recent announcement of the 2001 Census figures showing a drop of
>11% in the numbers of Gaelic speakers in Scotland, down to 58,650, there is
>growing demand for urgent action to reverse this trend and secure the future
>of the language. One of the ways in which this can be done is to encourage
>more people to learn Gaelic to fluency and thus hopefully use the language
>in their communities, at work and at home, passing it on to future
>generations.
>
>Na Gaidheil Ùra is a forty five minute documentary exploring the experiences
>of learners of Gaelic, with comment from a wide variety of people on why
>they wanted to learn, how they achieved this, and evaluates their place
>within the Gaelic world and their importance to the survival of the
>language. The programme also looks at the crucial areas of Gaelic-medium
>education, the work of Gaelic development bodies, and those delivering
>courses and resources, asking what needs to be done now to help more
>learners to fluency and to secure the language's future.
>
>The programme is presented by Babs MacGregor and will be shown with English
>subtitles on Thursday 20th March on BBC 2 at 6.45pm. It was directed by Iain
>Finlay Macleod from Lewis and produced by Liza Mulholland of Inverness.
