British Council Introduces Programme On Climate Change

British Council, the UK’s international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural exchange, has launched ‘Climate Futures: South Asia’ that aims at fostering sustainable practices within the arts and creative sectors in India. The programme, which is now open for applications will offer significant grant opportunities for artists, cultural organisations and creative collaborations to address the climate emergency through innovative projects and practices.

The Climate Futures: South Asia programme is designed to provide support to the arts sector, offering grants of £15,000 to artists and cultural organisations.

The deadline for all applications is 25 November 2024 at 23:59 GMT. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the global climate conversation by integrating sustainability into their artistic practices and fostering international collaboration.

To support potential applicants, the British Council will host a series of Information Sessions in October. These sessions will provide guidance on the application process and help applicants understand how to maximise their chances of securing funding. These sessions are scheduled for 8 and 22 October 2024, all at 10:00 GMT.
