“Culture Helps / Культура допомагає”: results of the sixth call of the individual grants
The individual grants programme within “Culture Helps / Культура допомагає” supports cultural managers who work to integrate Ukrainians (who were forced to move to safer regions of Ukraine or abroad due to a full-scale war) into new communities through cultural practices. This is an opportunity to take care of your own mental health and recover for those who help others. Within the program, you can receive up to €1000 for a session with a psychologist, a trip to a health retreat, a vacation in a sanatorium, and more.
