ZMINA:Resilience. Second call for co-creation funding of international cooperation projects
The IZOLYATSIA Foundation (UA) and Malý Berlín (SK), together with Trans Europe Halles (SE), announce the second call for proposals for the co-creation funding of international cooperation projects.
The objective of the call is to support co-creation between Ukrainian artists and cultural organisations and their peers from Creative Europe countries on the topic of resilience.
Funding will be available for co-creation projects involving at least one Ukrainian partner and a partner from another Creative Europe participating country. Each partner is expected to play a role of comparable weight in the project — whether through creative input, management responsibilities, or audience development. All creative sectors are eligible, with the exception of the audio-visual sector. Each co-creation project must include a public presentation in the locality of every participating partner.
