British Council Indonesia

We’re thrilled to announce 10 new projects for 2024-2025! 🎉 From sustainability to inclusion, this year’s grantees bring fresh perspectives to UK-Indonesia collaborations in film, literature, music, dance, and more.

At our launch event in Jakarta, we witnessed a powerful performance of "Ning" by Kitapoleng, a previous CTC grantee. Inspired by Bali’s sacred day of silence, "Ning" was performed by Deaf dancers, demonstrating how movement becomes a universal language. We were also joined by past and current grantees and special guests, including BGIPU representatives, highlighting the role of cultural exchange in strengthening international ties. We can’t wait to see this year’s projects come to life! 🎭✨
