British Council's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Awards for the Ukrainian cultural sector
Application deadline: 11 July 2016
As part of its annual Arts Programme, the British Council seeks to champion Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) within the Ukrainian cultural sector. At the British Council, we are strongly committed to supporting conditions in wider society that encourage and value diversity and promote dignity. We believe that the arts and creative industries can be exemplary for society in its exercise of tolerance and defence of difference. Truly creative communities rely on equality and freedom of expression, and value the contribution of difference as it fosters innovation.
We will award a number of grants of up to £3,000 each to support local initiatives looking to promote EDI values in partnership with a UK cultural organisation or festival. This partnership could take various forms (e.g. British expertise for workshops and seminars; British content like films or performance pieces as part of a festival; etc.)
Who? Any organisation (within the cultural sector or not) working in the development of a project (a festival, a training scheme, an exchange programme, etc.) related to one of our six EDI categories:
1- Age: children and old people
2- Gender: women’s rights
3- Sexual orientation: lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transsexual people’s rights
4- Disability: mental health, physical impairment
5- Nationality or ethnicity: minority groups’ rights
6- Religion
How? Fill in the application form following the guidance notes, and send to [email protected] it before Monday 11 July, 2016. Successful applicants will be notified before 20 July, 2016. Applications need to be submitted in English, Ukrainian and/or Russian.
