Apply for a Five Nations Development Funded project

​Download Forms here

Grants are for teachers who wish to create a small curriculum project that supports their work to develop citizenship education or education for active citizenship in their school.
​ 

We are particularly interested in projects that:
  • develop understanding of democracy, human rights and active and global citizenship
  • involve cross-border collaboration between schools in different jurisdictions (England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales).
  • enable teachers to work with pupils to participate in genuine citizenship action projects within or beyond the school 
  • develop curriculum or teaching activities that tackle controversial citizenship issues and develop skills of critical thinking, discussion and deliberative debate
Application requirements
  • Successful applicants need to be employed as a teacher in schools in the primary or secondary sectors of one of the five nations involved in the network (England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales). 
  • Project applications need to have been approved by your Head teacher or Principal.
  • Application process
  • Completed application forms should be emailed by 12pm Sunday 26th April to Camilla Bell-Davies (camilla@teachingcitizenship.org.uk). 
  • The Five Nations Network Strategy Group will review all applications. It is expected that most projects would begin in the summer of 2020.
  • A first payment is made once a project is approved by the Five Nations Strategy Group. A final payment is made following attendance at the annual conference and completion of the project.​
