NUFFIELD LANGUAGES PROGRAMME
Nuffield Languages Grants Scheme launches with budget of
£200,000 to support innovative projects
Funding is available over 18 months for projects which will translate
the Inquiry's recommendations into action and enhance
opportunities to learn languages.
Individual grants of £5,000 to £10,000 are likely to be the norm,
rising to £25,000 in exceptional cases. Projects will need to
demonstrate that they:
- raise the profile of languages and raise awareness of the
advantages of language learning;
- motivate and inspire groups that are currently under-represented
in language learning;
- increase support for language learners beyond the mainstream
statutory provision, thus increasing and widening participation;
- improve access to language learning by exploring ways of
overcoming practical barriers.
We are very interested in projects:
- where organisations join forces to achieve the above objectives;
- which involve employers;
- where the Nuffield contribution is to be matched by funds from
other sources;
- which include partners from outside the UK.
Projects must also be innovative, practical, generalisable and
reflective.
