The second Call for Applications are now open for the Heritage Solidarity Fellowship for Ukraine that provides much-needed financial support to heritage professionals in Ukraine who are currently facing hardships as well as to individuals who have displayed civic activism in protecting Ukraine’s cultural heritage during the war.
The first tranche of this fellowship scheme was raised by their non-governmental organisations: € 50,000 through the crowdfunding campaign jointly initiated by Europa Nostra and the Global Heritage Fund with a matching contribution of € 50,000 provided by ALIPH – International Alliance for the Protection of Heritage in Conflict Areas. Other organisations, such as Architects Sweden and Europa Nostra Sweden, contributed to this crowdfunding campaign.
On 8 March, ALIPH announced its decision to renew its commitment to the Heritage Solidarity Fellowship for Ukraine with an additional amount of €50,000. Other organisations, such as ICOMOS Canada and the Canadian Coalition for Cultural Heritage in Ukraine, are committed to contributing to the fellowship scheme. Additional contributions – both by individuals and organisations – to the crowdfunding campaign to support Ukrainian heritage defenders, however big or small, are welcome and important, and can easily be made via the Europa Nostra website
