British Council offers £50k grants for collaborative creative projects

The British Council is seeking to fund a new wave of international creative projects with £50,000 grants.

Applications for the Digital Collaboration fund opened this week, with the intention to support collaboration between UK-based creatives and those overseas.

Up to £50,000

The fund is targeted at digital projects. The council says this is both because of the travel restrictions faced by the coronavirus pandemic and rising concerns over the sustainability of face-to-face collaborations.

Two levels of funding are up for grabs – 12 grants worth between £10,000 and £20,000, and 15 grants worth between £40,000 and £50,000.

These will be divided among projects that work towards projects in three areas: research and development for new virtual collaborations; the restarting of projects that were put on pause because of the pandemic; and collaboration on new projects and ways of working.

Virtual conferences, exhibitions, games and archives

The British Council has put forward a list of example project which it expects to fund through the initiative.

These include virtual conferences, exhibitions and artist residencies, online cultural archives, digital games and mixed, augmented and virtual reality projects. Designers working in these fields may wish to apply for funding to bring their ideas to an international audience.

Countries eligible for collaboration are those that fall under the Official Development Assistance (ODA) list. They include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Colombia, Jamaica and Ukraine. A full list of countries is available to view in the Digital Collaboration Fund brief.

Projects must make a “positive contribution”

The ODA is the UK’s overseas aid budget set aside to help developing countries. Because of this, prospective applicants for funding must satisfy certain requirements.

According to the British Council, an ODA compliant proposal will “demonstrate that projects will make a positive contribution to the social and economic development” of the country involved, and aim to “further sustainable development or improve the welfare of the population”.

The brief for the scheme further stipulates that funding should be split 60/40 between partners. The lead partner should get no more than 60% of the funding, and at least 40% should go towards an ODA country.

For more information and to apply for funding, head to the British Council website. Applications close 18 November 2020.

The 18 Best Things to See and Do in Oslo

Image
Posted : 6/26/2020 | June 26th, 2020 Balancing natural beauty, historic architecture, and a modern flair, Oslo , Norway’s beautiful capital, is a city that punches well above its weight. It’s small but bursting with things to do: there are countless museums, spacious parks, and delicious restaurants to keep you busy. It’s close to numerous forests with hiking and biking trails, and there are lots of places to swim in the summer too. However, since it’s expensive, a lot of travelers pass Oslo by. While a visit will certainly eat into your budget, Oslo is definitely worth a couple of days. To help show precisely why you should add it to your itinerary, here are my favorite things to see and do in Oslo:   1. Take a Free Walking Tour I always start my trips off with a free walking tour. They’re a budget-friendly way to see the main sights, learn a little history, meet other travelers, and get access to an expert local guide who can answer all my questions. Free Tour Oslo organizes

Practical Action rebrands to show “how small actions can change the big picture”

Image
NB Studio has created a new identity for Practical Action, a UK development organisation. Practical Action was established in 1966 with the aim of creating appropriate technologies for developing regions of the world. It works primarily in Eastern and Southern Africa, South Asia and Latin America. It was founded by economist and philosopher Fritz Schumacher whose book, Small is Beautiful, champions the concept that small changes can empower people more than big ones. Practical Action’s aim is to provide sustainable technologies – systems that countries can accommodate with their existing resources – instead of providing large-scale aid that cannot be easily sustained. The charity was originally called Intermediate Technology Development Group but was changed to Practical Action in 2005. “Ingenuity People” Nick Finney, founder and creative director at NB Studio, says that the brand update aims to clarify the charity’s function. One of the problems with its previous names, Finne

The legacy of Life magazine’s images celebrated in new show

Image
When Life magazine was re-launched by magazine magnate Henry Luce in 1936, the idea was to put photojournalism at the forefront and publish only photography-led stories. Readers soon became accustomed to seeing images from around the world that gave them the kind of first-hand insight they’d never previously had. At one point it was selling 13.8 million copies a week, and in its lifetime the magazine commissioned more than 120,000 stories and 10 million photographs. Life was published up until 2000, and to celebrate the contributions the magazine made to documentary photography and photojournalism, Atlas Gallery in London is exhibiting a selection of some of the magazine’s most iconic and influential photographs.
