The British Council in Ukraine, in collaboration with Lanka.pro, is launching a new program to support the creative economy ecosystem in Ukraine. The program, planned for 2024-2025, focuses on developing creative hubs and industry associations, which play a key role in shaping the country’s modern economic landscape. A key aspect of this program is the provision of grants for creative hubs and associations.
Grants up to £7,000 for your development
This program will offer grant support to seven selected organizations. The maximum amount for each grant is £7,000.
The grant support covers the following activities:
1) Industry research – the results will help the organization improve its activities.
2) Pilot proposal testing – creating new services or products for the target audience.
3) Promotion and marketing – strengthening the organization’s digital presence, especially on social media.
4) Enhancing security and resilience – improving protection levels and adapting to climate change (up to 20% of the grant amount).
5) Mobility within Ukraine – internships, mentorship, and experience exchange with similar organizations within the country.
6) International mobility – exchange of experiences with partners in the UK or the European Union.
