A special call for Ukraine for 5 million EUR under the EU’s Creative Europe Programme in 2025 has been announced

On July 9, a meeting of the committee of the EU’s Creative Europe Programme took place in Brussels. During the meeting, it was announced that Ukraine would receive an additional targeted €5 million in 2025 as part of a special call “Support to Ukrainian displaced people and the Ukrainian Cultural and Creative Sectors”.

The special call launched by the Programme, which will be open only for Ukrainian organizations, will prioritize access to culture for temporarily displaced Ukrainians and Ukraine’s post-war cultural recovery. The call is an effective tool to promote cultural diversity, facilitating integration processes in the cultural professional environment, and creating favorable conditions for sustainability and prospects for a common post-war future.
