Drama tutors may be funded to deliver a week-long programme, finalising in a drama production.
In addition, groups may provide a maximum of 5 Ulster-Scots workshops/activities.
- Two-Day Summer School
This provides up to 6 different Ulster-Scots workshops/activities over two days.
There will be a maximum eligible funding of 2 hours for each Ulster-Scots Activity, with a maximum of 8 hours of activities.
All summer schools must deliver an Ulster-Scots language workshop.
