Marking 50 years of UK-Vietnamese diplomatic relations, and 30 years of the British Council’s presence in Viet Nam, the UK/Viet Nam Season 2023 will ignite new collaborations that celebrate the best of UK-Vietnamese partnerships, and strengthen the connections between the people of the UK and Viet Nam.

The British Council is inviting UK and Vietnamese partners to put forward joint proposals for the UK/Viet Nam Collaboration grants worth up to £20,000 per partnership. We are looking for innovative partnerships and co-created projects that reflect on our past, our present, and our future relationship for compelling activities and events to be delivered in Viet Nam and/or the UK during the Season (June-December 2023). Project proposals should be collaboratively developed and delivered by at least one UK-based organisation and at least one organisation based in Viet Nam.

In the area of English language, the UK/Viet Nam Collaboration Grants will include:

Suggested project types in basic education, higher education and/or TVET (technical and vocational education and training) and cover research, policy dialogue, capacity building and/or digital innovation. Examples could include:

  • English language teaching and learning in education 

  • English in a multilingual world e.g. English as a medium of instruction in basic, further or higher education 

  • Technology-enabled open-access Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and capacity building programmes for teachers and teacher educators 

  • English for girls’ education 

  • English for climate action 

  • Teacher networks and Communities of Practice (online and social media) 

  • Assessment, curriculum, and resources
