About the Project
The Ukrainian Woman project is funded by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA). The project aims to develop a community of artists that supports Ukraine’s cultural identity and strengthens its visibility on the global cultural scene.
This initiative is an important step towards the development of creative projects and innovative approaches focused on sustainable development. We support Ukrainian artists both in Ukraine and abroad in gaining new knowledge, building international partnerships, and developing new cultural projects.
The project facilitates cooperation between women artists and creative sector professionals from Ukraine and the European Union. We aim to strengthen the co-creation of high-quality artistic collaborations, as well as their presentation, dissemination, and long-term impact.
