FLOURISH is a project which researches and explores the shared linguistic connections between Ulster and Scotland, including Irish & Scottish Gaelic, and Scots & Ulster Scots. We want to work with communities to explore the benefits of our shared Irish and Scottish heritage through the lens of Irish, Ulster Scots and Scottish Gaelic language and culture.
There will be a public workshop on Tuesday 13th October, at 10am-12.30pm in the Omagh Library, and we would like to extend an invitation to your members to join us as we look at topics including place names, surnames and how English is spoken in Ulster.
This is the first of three workshops, spread out over around the next year which will last approx. 2.5 hours. We will provide light refreshments. The workshop is aimed towards adults as we will be working with young people in schools. If anyone under 18 would like to attend, they must be accompanied by an adult.
In the latter half of the project, the project team will run an optional trip to Donegal, north Antrim or Scotland for those who complete the workshops (places limited). The costs of the trip will be covered by FLOURISH and more information about this will be released to community groups in due course.
