Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust (CCGHT) is working with Ulster University on the Northword project.

This two-year (2020-2022) Northern Periphery and Arctic Area Programme (NPA) transnational project will harness the power of our rich heritage through storytelling and support creative businesses to use this as inspiration for new showcases.

They have recently worked with local storytellers to gather stories about our natural and cultural heritage of the local area and are calling on creatives located within the Causeway Coast & Glens and Mid & East Antrim Borough Council areas to take inspiration from one of the stories gathered to create a showcase piece (ranging from crafts, jewellery, textiles and art to music, film, photography, dance, and theatre). There are five development grants available for creative practitioners.
