Connections Through Culture is a mobility grants programme for the arts by the British Council in the UK and East Asia. After the success of the China and Taiwan programmes, an approach is launched in August 2019 in Southeast Asia: Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines.
The British Council is looking to work with Philippine and UK-based research partners to understand the profile, dynamics and impact of creative enterprises in the Philippines. The research will develop new knowledge on the ways creative businesses are contributing to social outcomes.
The research on creative and cultural districts in the Philippines will be part of a wider regional research programme for Southeast Asia (SEA). The selected local researcher and/or team in the Philippines will be expected to work closely with a UK-based researcher counterpart, and as part of a wider research partnership operating across four research projects in four countries: Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.
British Council is looking for researchers who can build the programme concept for Crafting Futures in the Philippines. The research will specifically focus on the handweaving industry within the context of the wider craft sector in the country and globally.
