The results of the open call `Support to Ukrainian displaced people and the Ukrainian Cultural and Creative Sectors`of the EU-funded Creative Europe programme for 2022 have been announced
The results of the special open call for support of the Ukrainian displaced people and the Ukrainian Cultural and Creative Sectors (`Culture` strand) have been published recently on the Funding & tender opportunities (FTOP). As of today, two consortium projects, each of which has a Ukrainian organization in it, have been confirmed:
- `ZMINA: REBUILDING — IZOLYATSIA. PLATFORM FOR CULTURAL INITIATIVES
The aim of the project is to support Ukrainian artists and cultural organizations (A&CO) in Ukraine and in at least 12 other Creative Europe countries. ZMINA: REBUILDING will provide 1.4m€ as sub-grants to support min. 40 projects connected with the topic of “rebuilding”: social norms, communities, relationships, infrastructure. There are three very necessary and relevant outputs of the project:
- development of concrete practices contributing to wartime resilience and post-war recovery in Ukraine;
- increasing the visibility of Ukrainian cultural and creative works in Ukraine and abroad: within Ukraine it will lead to a greater public understanding of the essential and unique role that the CCS plays, beyond Ukraine — it will develop cooperation between the European and Ukrainian CCS;
- capacity-building will support Ukrainian A&CO to internationalise their outlook, develop international projects and work according to European standards.
Partners of the consortia: TRANS EUROPE HALLES (TEH) (Spain) and MALY BERLIN (Germany).
- `Culture Helps` — INSHA OSVITA
Project is aimed at helping people from Ukraine who are displaced by the war, especially families and children, with integration into their new communities through cultural activities. It offers sub-granting to support mental health, organizing online and offline workshops and meetings for displaced cultural professionals both in Ukraine and in exile as well as their peers in other Creative Europe countries. Project will support more than 140 organizations and initiatives, more than 200 cultural workers will receive financial support to enhance their mental health.
Partner of the consortia: MitOst e.V. (Germany).
The projects will be implemented during 2023-2025 and will provide sub-granting to support Ukrainian art projects.
The purpose of the open call `Support to Ukrainian displaced people and the Ukrainian Cultural and Creative Sectors` is to prepare post-war recovery measures for the Ukrainian CCS as well as to help Ukrainian artists and cultural organizations in creating and demonstrating their projects in Ukraine and in the "Creative Europe" countries.
The total budget of the open call is 5 million euros.
According to conditions of the open call, only three projects - consortia, in which one participant will be an organization from Ukraine, will be selected.
