"German Centre for Gaelic Language and Culture" gosh - who knew! This is interesting! So, the project sounds good and the cost not too high. I don't think it's outside something we should support, but it would be good to know if you've contacted WMDE. This is partly because I don't want us to step on their toes, but also they might be able to offer local support (perhaps they have contacts who can offer a free meeting space, for example). I'm going to add some specific goals from our strategy (see here), the office can liaise about what information (usernames, etc.) are useful. Finally, it'd be useful to know roughly how many participants you're anticipating, I guess if you already have a set of articles ready to go, it'd be good to know how many (or/and if the topics are of particular interest!).

Thank you for your application; this looks like a great idea to me. Helping British minority languages is an area which WMUK can and should cover in their activities. €250 euros converts to around £200 which seems reasonable to me, though I agree with Sjgknight that it would be good to have more information on the planned number of participants and the topics of interest. I also agree that liaising with WMDE is a good idea, even if it's us which provides the funding. Finally, I would add that it would be helpful to have a full breakdown of the costs which add up to €250 euros, primarily for interest and to be clear on where the money is going.
