Schools Exchange Small Grants Program
The Schools Exchange Small Grants Program (SESGP) was created by the Australia-Indonesia Institute (AII) to encourage broader avenues of contact and exchange between Australian primary and secondary schools and their Indonesian counterparts.
Under the program, the AII intends to make a number of grants each year of up to $3,000 to assist Australian schools with the costs of bringing Indonesian primary and secondary school teachers and/or students to visit their schools and community.
In addition to expanding the level of personal contact between staff and students at Australian and Indonesian schools, it is envisaged that these visits will contribute to improving teaching skills and the development of curricula at participating schools.
Applications may be submitted at any time throughout the year, however the Board of the AII will only consider applications for SESGP grants at its regular meetings which are usually held in July, November and March. Applications should be made on the standard Australia-Indonesia Institute Grant Application Form and must be received by the Secretariat by the deadline for the receipt of applications for the November meeting.
