Connections through Culture: grants for cultural projects with Great Britain

Sector: Culture and creative industries
Type: Grant
Location: Ukraine and Great Britain
Deadline: 23 June 2025 at 17:00 Kyiv time
Organiser: The British Council

This is a chance to get almost EUR 12,000 for a joint cultural project with Great Britain.

Invite a British mentor to a residency for artists with Down syndrome, show a play about the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant explosion at the London Theater Festival, or bring a British band to a local indie festival — you will have a year to implement and complete freedom regarding the format.

Projects on diversity, inclusion, and combating climate change will be given priority. Last year's winners list will help you better understand what the organisers expect.

The competition is offered by the British Council.
