Grant News
Funding is available to support first-time visits or to revive exchanges between groups of young people and their partner schools or youth groups in Germany. The UK-German Instant Impact Fund aims to help schools and youth groups start or re-establish partnerships, allowing young people to connect with their peers, experience the culture of another country, and participate in joint activities on a chosen topic.
Grants of up to £2,500 are available to primary, secondary and SEN schools, FE colleges and youth groups in the UK, covering up to 75% of the costs, including:
- Travel and transport
- Accommodation and subsistence
- Joint activities for young people, including excursions
- Costs for exchange partners to join joint activities
- Materials and room hire
- Visa costs directly related to the visit
- Virtual/digital activities (hardware and software)
Up to 25% of the grant can be allocated for organizational support.
Additionally, the Instant Impact Plus option provides grants of up to £5,000 for more extensive trips and project-based activities within new and existing partnerships. Applications from groups of institutions working together are also encouraged.
