Cooperation Camp 2023: grants for international music collaborations

Sector: Culture and creative industries
Type: Grant
Location: Ukraine
Deadline: Finished
Organiser: The German Federal Foreign Office

Due to russia's war against Ukraine, many talented Ukrainian musicians put aside their creativity to fight in the ranks of the Armed Forces or volunteer.

Cooperation Camp is an opportunity to return to creativity and participate in international musical collaborations. You will receive EUR 900 to create a song, remix, podcast or other project that will help you stay part of the European scene.

You must implement your online or offline project by 4 December 2023.

The project is developed with the support of Music Export Ukraine and is funded by the Stabilisation Fund for Culture and Education of the German Federal Foreign Office and the Goethe-Institut. This is one of the thousands of EU opportunities for Ukraine.
