GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING FOR "SALIKHA": CHED - NCCA GRANTS FOR CREATIVE PROJECTS OF THE K TO 12 TRANSITION PROGRAM
DATE:
2A... July
2017
Formal education prioritizes developing literacy and skills in the scientific domain, while the arts, culture, and social sciences are oftentimes sidelined. The higher education sector can promote these disciplines, by providing the means for faculty and personnel to develop their creative potentials and enrich their disciplinary knowledge. The CHED-NCCA Grants for Creative Projects aims to upgrade instruction and learning in the arts and culture disciplines by helping improve content and pedagogy. The higher education system, when transformed into an effective channel that broadens and deepens cultural knowledge, can be instrumental in nurturing pride in Filipino identity and values. The CHED-NCCA Grants for Creative Projects is a financial endowment for higher education institutions that are affected by the K to 12 Transition Period, who wish to engage in projects relating to the development of Philippine arts and culture for publication, exhibition, production, or other forms of public use. The initiative aims to stimulate the production of creative outputs, through investing in the artistic creativity of academics and artists in higher education institutions across the country. The NCCA, in line with its mission to "encourage the continuing development of a pluralistic culture by the people themselves," will be creating the opportunity for teaching and non-teaching staff to have a direct hand in the development of Filipino literature, arts, and culture. Through a partnership with CHED, the program hopes to be able to provide grants to higher education institutions, specifically involving personnel who are affected by the K to 12 Transition Period.
