The British Council’s NXT:now programme is offering grants of £15,000 to £20,000 for collaborative arts projects involving registered organisations in the UK and Germany. At least 12 partnerships are expected to receive funding.
Projects should explore the challenges facing young people aged 18 to 30, particularly around digital culture, online identity, and social, political or environmental instability. Eligible activities can include music, theatre, film, dance, gaming, installations, and multidisciplinary creative projects. Projects may be delivered in person, online, or through a combination of both.
No match funding is required. However, individuals and universities are not eligible to apply. Funded activities must take place between April 2027 and March 2028.
Deadline: 10 January 2027
