Have you a skill or qualification that could help promote Ulster-Scots?

Are you a skilled musician, dancer or storyteller, perhaps you’re a drama or an arts and craft enthusiast?  Indeed if you have any specialist skills, we would like to hear from you.

 If your skill and enthusiasm is matched by a genuine desire to support the Ulster Scots tradition, then you may be able to earn a little extra income by supporting the Ulster Scots Agency in the promotion of Ulster-Scots culture, language and heritage.  You can do this by applying to join our select list of occasional tutors and facilitators.
