To encourage greater cultural dialogue between the UK and Azerbaijan, the British Council is offering small grants of up to 5,000 GBP gross through its Culture Connects programme. The grants will support international artistic collaboration projects between UK and Azerbaijan – e.g. showcasing UK artistic work at festivals, bringing UK artists or arts professionals to participate in events, or collaborative formats such as residencies which develop new work.
We are open to proposals from any sector and on a wide range of themes, but we will ensure that at least 50 per cent of our annual funding this year goes to projects which focus on the theme of climate change.
To apply for an available grant, please fill in the application form (see below) and send it to Programmes Officer Konul Ahmadova at Konul.Ahmadova@britishcouncil.az.
The first-round deadline for submission of applications is 24 July 2024.
Applications will then be received on a rolling basis until 1 January 2025.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited for further interview by the British Council team who will make the final decision about which proposals will be funded.
