The British Council’s new DICE Digital R&D Fund will offer 20 grants to support the development and delivery of 20 co-designed ‘digital experiences’ that contribute to the DICE programme’s mission and ethos.
The fund will also support the creation of a community of practice across the 20 partnerships to share learning from the digital experiences.
The value of each of these grants will range between £7,000 – £15,000.
The 20 grants will be awarded to 20 pairs of organisations, known hereafter as ‘DICE Digital Partners’, who will co-design and co-deliver a digital experience.
The digital experiences should:
- Be delivered between February and May 2021.
- Be designed by, with and/or for groups that are often disadvantaged in the economy, including but not limited to youth, women or people with disabilities.
- Be tailored and produced for specific groups, such as creative social entrepreneurs, artists and policy makers.
- Enable the DICE Digital Partners to enhance and improve their own digital confidence, capabilities and infrastructure.
- Create genuine connection and camaraderie between the participants.
Organisations that wish to apply must be based in a DICE country (Brazil, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan, South Africa and the UK) and must submit their application together with a partner organisation in another DICE country.
