The IZOLYATSIA Foundation (UA) and Malý Berlín (SK), together with On the Move’s member, Trans Europe Halles (SE), announce a call for proposals for the seed funding of international cooperation projects for Ukrainian cultural and artistic organisations.
The ZMINA: Resilience programme provides support to Ukrainian artistic and cultural organisations to develop project ideas around the theme of resilience into joint project proposals with partners from Creative Europe countries (EU countries, non-EU countries). The aim of this project is to enhance the capacity of Ukrainian organisations for international cooperation, to build equal and sustainable partnerships, to create new cultural, artistic, and creative products, to raise awareness about Ukraine, and to promote Ukraine’s integration into the EU’s cultural landscape.
Thanks to the seed funding call, selected Ukrainian organisations will have supported their capacity to develop international projects. Participants will gain the opportunity to test their creative ideas and develop them into international projects, find new partnerships and cooperation formats with organisations from Creative Europe programme countries, receive mentoring support and new skills through participation in capacity-building activities, and also develop project proposals for further funding through other calls and programmes.
As a result, the project will develop robust international project proposals.
Programme funding:
- Total funding of the seed funding call: €75,000
- Maximum sub-grant amount: €5,000
- Expected number of supported projects: 15-20
Additionally to the programme funding, selected participants will receive:
- Four workshops on project development and partnership building to ensure all participants have the same level of preparation and basic knowledge of project structure.
- Each grant recipient of the seed funding will receive approximately 16 hours of mentoring support from the selected mentors on general understanding of project development, structures, setting objectives, target audiences, project team planning, and budgets.
The eligible applicants are Ukrainian organisations active in the field of arts and culture, established in a zone effectively controlled by the Ukrainian government and having no EU and Ukraine restrictive measures applied for.
Among the list of activities that are eligible for financial support, you can find international travel to identify or develop project ideas with partners.
