Creative Europe is the EU’s funding programme for providing support to the culture and audiovisual sectors.
The aim of this call is to prepare the post-war recovery of the Ukrainian cultural and creative sectors and support their contribution to societal resilience through capacity building and networking activities.
This action will support cultural cooperation projects between Ukraine and other Creative Europe countries that will help and strengthen Ukrainian cultural and creative sectors organisations, artists and professionals. Projects shall demonstrate a very good understanding of the complexity of the current situation in Ukraine and develop actions encouraging the development, experimentation, dissemination or application of concrete practices on how culture and the arts can contribute to wartime resilience and post-war recovery.
Proposals under this topic should help the sectors and relevant stakeholders to prepare, organise and launch actions on the recovery efforts of all the cultural and creative sectors in Ukraine. Applicants are encouraged to cover as many cultural sectors as possible. An attention should be devoted to cultural heritage management or cultural heritage protection, particularly assets at risk.
Proposals should also build on the new EU candidate status and help the cultural and creative sectors be ready for the future opportunities that may derive from this status.
Proposals should primarily focus on capacity building and networking activities.
On capacity building, proposals should complement and consider the ongoing efforts led by Ukraine and seek to complement other EU actions.
Proposals may include, among others, activities such as workshops, seminars, tutorials, studies, fact-checking missions, etc. involving sector representatives to empower them and facilitate their contribution to the abovementioned public policies. This list is not exhaustive.
On networking, proposals should build connections of Ukrainian organisations and individuals (artists and culture professionals) with their peers in the EU and other Creative Europe participating countries. They may promote the inclusion or the participation in the activities of currently supported Creative Europe Networks10, thereby providing the Ukrainian and cultural sectors with access to a wide community of organisations from the sectors, in the EU and beyond. Activities should be aimed at building meaningful long-lasting links and cooperation. Specific attention should be given to the structuring of the Ukrainian cultural ecosystem, in view of the Ukraine’s accession to the EU.
Proposals may include online/onsite conferences, exchange programmes across organisations, development, testing and production of networking tools, industry or sectoral events, etc. This list is not exhaustive.
Proposals may include financial support to third parties if needed for this topic.
