**The British Council has announced a small grants programme for experimental digital
projects that support its DICE (Developing Inclusive and Creative Economies) programme’s
objectives.**

 

The DICE Digital RD Fund is offering 20 grants ranging **from £7,000 to £15,000**
to support the development and delivery of 20 co-designed ‘digital experiences’ 
that contribute to the DICE programme’s mission and ethos.

The grants will be awarded to 20 pairs of organisations, known as ‘DICE Digital 
Partners’. To apply, an organisation must be based in a DICE country:

 

 * Brazil
 * Egypt
 * Indonesia
 * Pakistan
 * South Africa
 * the UK

 

They must submit their application together with a partner organisation in another
DICE country.

 

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.

 

The window for applications to the [DICE Digital R&D Fund](https://www.britishcouncil.org/dice-digital-rd-fund)
is short, between 1 and 15 December 2020.

 

The Fund will also support the creation of a community of practice across the 20
partnerships to share learning from the digital experiences.
