Applications are invited for the Being Human festival 2018. Led by the School of Advanced Study, University of London, in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the British Academy, Being Human is the UK’s only national festival of the humanities.
There are three ways to get involved in the Being Human festival:
- ‘Open call’ pathway: Organise an activity that does not require a direct financial contribution from Being Human that will be supported and promoted as part of their programme.
- ‘Small awards’ pathway: Apply to Being Human for funding of up to £2,000 to enable activities.
- ‘Hub awards’ pathway: Apply for a larger grant of £2,000- £4,000 to coordinate multiple activities as a Festival Hub. (Only a small number of these awards are made every year).
Eligibility Criteria
All activities featured in the festival programme must:
- demonstrate aspects of humanities research in ways that are entertaining and accessible for non-specialist audiences
- have direct involvement from a humanities researcher in delivering the event
- be free to attend if funded by Being Human, and no more than £5 to attend if self-funded
- be held during the festival dates.
How to Apply
There is a separate application form for each of their three pathways.
- Open call’ pathway
- ‘Small awards’ pathway
- ‘Hub awards’ pathway
Applicants can submit their application via email at the address given on the website.
