British Council announces seven new projects from the Cultural Protection Fund


The grants announced today will help protect endangered global heritage, preserve local communities and protect sites at risk from conflict or climate change.

Just over £700,000 will be awarded to the various projects which will commence from July 2023, reaching completion by the end of January 2025.

To be eligible for support from the Cultural Protection Fund, projects must include activities that safeguard cultural heritage for future generations, protect heritage from risks relating to conflict, instability and/or climate change (and related disasters) and include meaningful involvement of the communities closest to the heritage.

New projects awarded funding are:

Revitalising the intangible Cultural Heritage of the Endorois people led by the Jamii Asilia Centre in partnership with Global Wisdom Collective

The Endorois were some of the first inhabitants in the Baringo and Laikipia Counties in Kenya and their intangible heritage is at risk due to the rising water levels of nearby Lake Bogoria. The project will deliver training in oral history skills and record conversations with Endorois Elders focussing on the knowledge systems, practices and rituals connected to their pastoralist culture.
