In partnership with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, the British Council has launched a new 拢30 million fund to help to create sustainable opportunities for economic and social development through building capacity to foster, safeguard and promote cultural heritage affected by conflict overseas.
The Fund aims to protect and preserve physical monuments and religious sites, as well as ‘intangible’ heritage: inherited traditions, beliefs and cultural identity, passed down through generations 鈥� all of which have been increasingly under threat in the Middle East and North Africa as Daesh have gained power in the region.
