The British Council only support projects that fit with their aims as a cultural relations agency, are high quality, have relevance to the region the organization is working in, have potential impact & outcomes, and embrace the spirit of mutual respect.

Much of the support the British Council can offer is also about providing contacts, helping arts organisations identify the most appropriate project partners, helping with information about practicalities and on the ground support.

Connections through Culture aims to develop institutional links and therefore individual artists are not eligible to apply for a development grant.
