House of Europe is a Goethe-Institut initiative funded by the European Union that connects Ukrainian artists, media professionals, educators, filmmakers and social entrepreneurs with European opportunities. The programme has been active in Ukraine since 2019 and has supported hundreds of grant recipients across the country. Its core idea is two-way exchange: Ukrainians learn from leading European practitioners and, in turn, share their own expertise with them.
House of Europe offers various types of support: personal project grants (up to €4,000), international mobility grants for attending events abroad, translation grants, infrastructure and cooperation grants, Digital Labs training programmes, and dedicated tracks for the film industry, media and social entrepreneurship. Most programmes open in waves — follow updates to avoid missing the next application window.
