Fellowships for civil society activists: civic digital
This is an opportunity to receive EUR 5,000 to implement a digital solution to improve your community.
Develop a website with legal advice for vulnerable segments of the population, create a platform that will unite IDPs and people who are ready to help with housing, and tell Ukrainian civil servants about the latest changes in EU digital legislation — you will have eight months to implement the idea in Ukraine, the EU, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia or Moldova.
To better understand which projects the scholarship supports, look for inspiration on the website with the portfolio of winners of past competitions.
The programme is funded by the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Foundation. This is one of thousands of EU opportunities for Ukraine.
