The Nexus of Decision 2024: residency for Ukrainian artists and researchers in Poland

Sector: Culture and creative industries
Type: Residency
Location: Augustów, Poland
Deadline: 15 September 2024 at 23:59 Kyiv time
Organiser: Other

This is a one-week residency in Augustów (Poland), where you can share your experience with artists from Poland and Germany.

You will discuss how myths shape history, culture, and politics, how different nations perceive Russia's war against Ukraine, and how negotiations with an aggressor put Europe at risk. As a result, you will try to find an effective formula for long-term peace.

The programme is managed by Vitsche with the Pilecki Institute, with the support of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and funding from the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation. This is one of thousands of EU opportunities for Ukraine.
