MediaFit Creators Funds: grants to create content for regional audiences
This is a chance to receive up to EUR 7,000 for material for readers from the east of Ukraine. Find an important topic and DW Akademie will cover the creation costs, find an experienced mentor and organise a series of workshops on the issues that concern you.
The project must be published by 15 August. You can work both independently and in a team with colleagues.
