The Delegation of the European Union to Ukraine invites artists from Ukraine and EU member states to participate in a two-day online intensive course ‘Artists Without Borders’ focused on fostering collaboration among artists in Ukraine and EU member states.
The project’s objective is to heighten public awareness in Ukraine regarding the European Union, the progressively deepening collaboration between the EU and Ukraine, and common European values such as human rights, the rule of law, and democracy. This will be achieved by directly involving Ukrainians and EU member state artists in specifically tailored cultural diplomacy activities and fostering extensive artistic collaboration, aiming to connect people with their history and cultural heritage.
Programme overview:
- Overview of key EU cultural programmes (Creative Europe, House of Europe)
- Presentations of EU-funded projects in Ukraine
- Insights from experienced Ukrainian artists on international collaboration, partnerships, and market entry
- Discussing the present relations between the European Union and Ukraine, including the steps and negotiations related to accession
- Lectures on the historical and cultural ties between Ukraine and the EU
- Reflections and discussions on war through art
- Collaborative project development
Upon successful completion of the course, participants can progress to the next stages of the programme, including cultural exchanges and artistic residencies.
Applications are accepted from residence in Ukraine or an EU member state. The course is free to attend although the number of participants is limited.
