The British Council has announced that grants will now be available to support arts organisations to collaborate internationally. The council website stated, “We are offering grants of up to £50k to organisations in the UK and selected countries overseas to collaborate digitally on international projects.”
Explaining why a digital collaboration fund has been announced, the council said, “We have always supported international artistic collaboration through our work. In response to increasing restrictions on global travel due to Covid-19, and rising concerns about the sustainability of face-to-face collaborations, we are now looking for new ways to foster these international connections. The Digital Collaboration Fund aims to address this challenge. Through a series of grants, we are supporting organisations to devise new virtual ways of working internationally, in turn creating a climate-friendly approach to international collaboration and artistic exchange.”
Grants of up to £50k are available to organisations in the UK and selected Official Development Assistance (ODA) countries to collaborate on digital projects. For more information you can log on to britishcouncil dot org.
