Related to this, the DEA will be holding workshops in September that are specifically geared to potential mini grant applicants. The mornings, which are priced workshops, will showcase existing mini grant projects, as current mini grant holders will present their projects and be available to answer questions. The afternoon sessions, which are free and may be attended separately from the morning, will look in depth at the actual application process. Venues for these workshops are still being arranged; it is likely that one will be in London/ Reading and the other in the north west. Details will be put on the website as soon as the events are finalised.
