Open call for a fellowship within ВІЛЬНО/VILNO program

The ВІЛЬНО/VILNO program aims to recover, adapt, and reintegrate into civilian life veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war who worked in the cultural and educational sectors before their service.

Within the first round of the ВІЛЬНО/VILNO program from October 2024 to January 2025 will be implemented:

A fellowship for veterans from September to December for 600 euros;
Psychological and/or legal assistance (together with partners);
Joint meetings for veterans with civilian counterparts to reconnect, exchange views, and synchronize.

We are launching an open call for participation in a reintegration program for veterans who worked in the cultural and/or educational and/or artistic sphere before their service, were dismissed from service, and need support in reintegrating into their professional environment. The program includes a fellowship that can be spent on education, workplace rent, work supplies, etc.

Program participants will also have the opportunity to apply for funding for their artistic or educational projects. Creating a sound work or video art, renting a studio to work on an installation, translating your book, or creating a podcast about the specifics of returning teachers’ professions with military experience — within this round, we will fund three such projects.

Selection criteria:

You are a veteran who worked in the cultural and/or educational and/or artistic sphere before serving;
A variety of projects were realized before serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine;
The application is written in Ukrainian;
The relevance of the applicant’s focus for the duration of the fellowship is in line with the overall goals and aims of the program;
All questions are filled in and make sense.

You can participate in the program and fill out the application form until September 29, 2024.

If you have any questions, please contact Vilno@insha-osvita.org
