Victoria Davydova, Press and Information Officer at EU Delegation to Ukraine, shared her experience and current opportunities in seeking partnerships and strengthening cultural ties between Ukraine and the EU.

Ukraine and the EU have always had close cultural ties, today we continue to build and deepen them. Culture and shared values are at the center of international relations, culture encourages dialogue. Yes, everyone contributes, but cooperation is the real strength. I invite you to develop common ideas and artistic projects. We at the Mission are pleased to support the exchange of ideas and promote collaboration between Ukrainian artists and their EU colleagues,

underlined Victoria Davydova.
