Next Generation 2.0 / Generate (360G-cabinetoffice-GA-343380)

I am writing to offer you a grant of up to £20,000 towards the costs of leading and managing Generate; the joint programme between the British Council and Arts Council England. Up to 12 emerging and mid-careers producers, curators and presenters (6 from England and 6 from the United States) will be selected to form a networked delegation that will attend a series of festivals and events in the UK and USA over a year-long to eighteen-month period. Delegates will have accommodation, travel, festival/performance fees and substance covered as part of the project. There will be an open application process in summer 2019 with a selection panel made up of British Council, Arts Council England and external members from the industry. Priority will be given to diverse applicants and those who would not have the resources to support their international development through other means. Selected participants will aim to develop collaborations and co-productions, supporting these individuals to work internationally in the future.
