Matchmaking and information session for the Culture Helps Solidarity / Культура допомагає: Солідарність opening round of cross-border Collaboration Grants open call from January to March 2026 to support projects that improve access to culture and foster inclusion and mental well-being for internally displaced people and refugees from Ukraine, with particular attention to vulnerable groups, including veterans.

As part of the opening round of the Culture Helps Solidarity / Культура допомагає: Солідарність cross-border Collaboration Grants call, a webinar titled Community (Dis-)Connections: How Culture Helps and Has Its Limits was organised to help applicants explore the thematic focus of the programme in greater depth.

Hosted by Insha Osvita, the session brought together cultural practitioners working with communities affected by displacement and war in Ukraine and elsewhere in Europe. The discussion focused on how cultural initiatives can help rebuild connections between people whose lives have been reshaped by conflict, while also acknowledging the limits of cultural work when addressing complex social realities.
