Funding for participation This programme has been made possible with the aid of a generous grant from the Headley Trust. The British Council, University College London (UCL) and Heritage Without Borders (HWB) will cover the costs of participation. This includes travel to/from the UK, in-country travel, accommodation and subsistence during participation in the UK. Delegates’ museums must commit to hosting UK colleagues for a short visit between October 2014-February 2015. This does not require a financial commitment from the institution, but does require a willingness to give them access to museum facilities during their short stay (up to 4 days). The final 3-day workshop will be in Belgrade, Serbia. The British Council and HWB will not cover travel costs to Belgrade, but will cover accommodation and subsistence costs during it. 9. Official endorsement We know from experience that our delegates can only benefit from our programmes when they have the full backing of their employers.
