Advocacy
Mar Cho-Steidheadair Sgoil Shamhraidh Gàidhlig Astràilia, tha ùidh shònraichte aig Ariel ann an suidheachadh nam Brains - as Co-Founder of the Australian Gaelic Summer School, Ariel has been supporting the Brain Family and their son, Lachlann, who is in Gaelic-Medium Education, in their battle to stay in Scotland.
Tha am pàipear The National air a bhith a' toirt tòrr taic dhaibh, agus air trì phìosan bho Ariel a fhoillseachadh - The National has been leading the media campaign to support them, and has given nearly three full pages of coverage for Ariel's advocacy for both the Brains and the broader Clearances Diaspora in Australia, Canada, America and New Zealand. Tha obair Ariel air obair phàighte a chruthachadh do bharrachd air 33 neach-ealain is neach-riochdachaidh bho chionn trì bliadhna gu leth - Ariel's work has created paid work opportunities for over 33 arts and arts production workers in just over three years and is but a small example of the socioeconomic and cultural contribution members of the Clearances Diaspora in Non-EU Countries can make to Scotland. You can read Ariel's contributions in The National here, here and here, and about Ariel's Scottish family history from the Clearances here.
