Connections Through Culture grants nurture fresh cultural partnerships between the UK and participating countries around the world.
The grants support new ideas and collaborations from artists and cultural organisations at any stage of development. Previously run in the UK and select countries in Asia Pacific and Europe, the current round of grants has been expanded to include countries in most regions.
On this page, you can read about projects funded through previous rounds of Connections Through Culture, focusing on two areas: diversity and inclusion and addressing climate change.
