MLA
invites applications to ‘Their Past Your Future 2’
The Museums, Libraries and Archives (MLA) Partnership is launching an extension to the highly successful Big Lottery funded ‘Their Past Your Future’ programme. The MLA is inviting museums, libraries and archives to apply for funding for projects that will form phase two of the programme.
In this second phase, lasting from 2007-10, MLA will manage an annual funding programme offering grants of between £500 - £10,000 to museum, libraries and archives in England. Organisations may use this funding to develop programmes, workshops, exhibitions and events which promote understanding of the impact of conflict.
Organisations may apply for grants focusing on two areas: work with children and young people and inter-generational learning. The closing date for applications for the first year of the programme is 19th October 2007.
Further details of the ‘Their Past Your Future 2’ initiative are available from regional MLA agencies.
A series of regional seminars are being held by regional MLA agencies. They will offer advice for staff from museums, libraries and archives who are developing applications to the funding programme.
Dates are:
