The third Being Human festival will run 17-25 November 2016 and is now inviting applications for 2016.
The theme for 2016 is ‘Hope and Fear’. Applicants are encouraged to consider events around the theme, but they’re open to other ideas as well.
They are offering grants to support activities across the UK that communicate research in the humanities in accessible, engaging and fun ways to non-academic audiences.
There are a number of ways to get involved, from organising one event or coordinating a small programme, to becoming a Being Human ‘Festival Hub’. Have a look at the full call for applications to find out more.
Need some inspiration? Check out they gallery from last year.
The deadline for applications is 5pm May 16th.
