The Centre for Global Education (CGE) is a resource base for global and developing world studies based in Belfast and one of its services is the administration of the Department for International Development’s (DFID) Development Awareness Mini Grant Fund in Northern Ireland. The fund is designed to support projects between 1 and 3 years, which aim to raise awareness of international development issues at a local level. Grants awarded under the fund range from a minimum of £1,000 to a maximum grant of £10,000.
The DFID Mini Grant Fund aims to support projects that will raise awareness of:
• International development issues
• Our global interdependence
• The need for international development
• The progress that has been made in international development and that is possible.
The Centre for Global Education is organizing two briefing seminars for potential applicants, one in Belfast and one in Derry.
The workshops have the following aims:
• To explain the Mini Grant Fund’s criteria;
• To assist organisations in making an application;
• To discuss previous successful and unsuccessful applications to the fund;
• To increase understanding of development education.
Participants are not required to have previous experience of development education delivery. The training seminars are particularly targeted at the black and ethnic minority sector, development organizations, youth groups, women’s organisations, trade unions and community or voluntary organizations with an interest or involvement in delivering education projects on international development issues.
