The India Foundation for the Arts (IFA) invites applications from eligible schools in non-metropolitan areas of India for arts-integrated education projects that enhance teaching and learning through creative, culturally relevant approaches. The program aims to foster creativity, curiosity, and meaningful classroom engagement by integrating arts into education across subjects and connecting learning with local cultural practices, students’ lived experiences, and community knowledge. Supported projects may incorporate local art forms into teaching methodologies, promote interdisciplinary learning through the arts, engage local artists and cultural practitioners, and strengthen links between schools and their communities. Grants of up to INR 400,000 (approximately USD 4,800) are available for projects lasting between 12 and 18 months.
