NESTA – an opportunity

Nothing to do with chocolate. NESTA stands for the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts, and it is currently proposing to hand out £50,000 to a small community that is moving towards an integrated way of using new technology to promote itself. Arran already has a tourism agency capable of reaching out to people with ‘smart’ phones, and there is an interest in local radio. Voice for Arran is going out all over the world electronically. The island is in a strong position to bid for this substantial grant – but we need to get our skates on, as the application ‘window’ is only open for two more weeks. Contact us on info@voiceforarran.com if you are interested, and we’ll organise a get-together.
