This is a chance to go on a professional dream trip for Ukrainian artists and culture managers. The grant opens for you the EU, the UK, Norway, Serbia, Turkey, and 13 more countries. 

You plan the route yourself: you can visit foreign partners to get acquainted or work on a project, take part in the conference or networking, or come up with something else.

EU4Culture is implemented by Goethe-Institut in cooperation with Czech Centers, Danish Cultural Institute, and Institut Français de Géorgie.
