Members of the public are being invited to get involved and help
celebrate Ulster-Scots Language Week across the City and District.
A week-long programme of activity celebrating the unique contribution
which the Ulster-Scots language makes locally is planned by Derry City
and Strabane District Council, with support from the Ulster-Scots
Agency.
To help make this week a real celebration of the Ulster-Scots language
the Council is appealing for people to put forward their ideas.
Proposals are now invited from suitably qualified individuals, groups
or organisations, which outline ideas for projects, events or
activities.
If your proposal is selected it will be included in the Council’s
annual Ulster-Scots Language Week programme, which runs from 25-29
November 2024. Proposals are welcome for both in-person and digital
events.
Encouraging people to get involved, the Mayor of Derry City and
Strabane District Council, Councillor Lilian Barr said, “This is a
great opportunity for people to come forward with their exciting ideas
about how best we can celebrate Ulster-Scots Language Week in our City
and District.
"Ulster-Scots is an important part of our shared heritage and it’s
vital that we do all we can to help raise awareness and promote
understanding of the language, particularly among new audiences. Please
come forward with any proposal you have, every project which meets the
criteria will be considered.”

guage-week-2024 and returning it
