Creative Europe: European Cooperation Projects

Sector: Culture and creative industries
Type: Grant
Location: Ukraine and EU
Deadline: Finished
Organiser: Creative Europe

This is an opportunity to get up to a million euros for a significant cultural project created in collaboration with at least three organisations from 40 countries.

Digitise rare folklore materials, host an architecture biennale, launch green residencies for artists, promote inclusive books for children and youth, hold a series of participatory workshops with European urban planners on designing cities of the future, create street art that encourages critical thinking, or performances reflecting the concept of faith. Look for inspiration from the projects already supported by Creative Europe during previous contests.

You will work on the project for up to four years. It can include several areas of culture and creative industries or be interdisciplinary. 

This is one of the dozens of opportunities of Creative Europe for Ukrainians and one of the thousands of programmes offered by the EU.
