These are grants for projects for Ukrainian refugees, created in cooperation with partners from Europe. A series of open lectures on mental health, weekly painting workshops, and a good neighbourliness festival — you will have up to EUR 40,000 for a project to help Ukrainians feel at home in a new place.

You will need to implement the project by 30 November 2024.
