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.

Creators Fund takes place in frames of the MediaFit EU project, which is implemented by DW Akademie in partnership with Transtele Canal France International and Lithuanian Radio and Television. This is one of thousands of EU opportunities for Ukraine.
