CFPs: Support of Ukrainian Immigrants and the Cultural & Creative Sectors

Deadline: 29-Nov-22

The European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) is inviting applications to Support the Ukrainian displaced people and the Ukrainian Cultural and Creative Sectors.

Objectives
  • Culture is one of the building blocks of any nation. Cultural expression and access to culture are indispensable elements to live and help them deal with traumatic events, build individual and collective resilience and a perspective for a post -war future.
  • The war in Ukraine has devastating effects on the Ukrainian cultural heritage and on cultural organisations and artists that cannot operate and reach out to their national and international audience. Additionally, many Ukrainian displaced people and children fleeing the war and currently staying in other locations in Ukraine or in other Creative Europe countries, will not be able to return to their pre-war locations because of destruction. Those staying in other Creative Europe countries will have to interact with their new communities to facilitate their reciprocal integration.
  • Culture and the arts have proven to be an efficient tool to connect people from different backgrounds and facilitate integration. The objective of the special call is to help the Ukrainian cultural and creative organisations, as well as artists and professionals to address the following challenges in the short and medium term:
    • Objective – short term
      • Support Ukrainian artists and cultural organisations to create and showcase their art and works in Ukraine and in Creative Europe participating countries
      • Help Ukrainians displaced by the war, in particular children, in Ukraine or Creative Europe participating countries, have access to culture and/or facilitate their integration into their new communities through culture. In this context, adequate attention should be given to the consequences which the war inflicted on mental health.
    • Objective– medium term
      • Prepare the post-war recovery of the Ukrainian cultural sectors through needs assessments, capacity building and investment planning
      • Prepare and train Ukrainian cultural heritage professionals with regard to the protection of Ukrainian cultural heritage from risks.
      • The achievement of these objectives, especially the post-war recovery of the Ukrainian cultural sectors should be built on Ukraine’s new status as an EU candidate country.
Thematical and Priorities
  • This action will support projects on cultural cooperation between Ukraine and other Creative Europe countries 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.
