Call for Participation — Ukrainian and EU Women from Cultural and Creative Sectors, Your Voice Matters!

The Ukrainian Woman project aims to support Ukrainian cultural and creative sectors by focusing on Ukrainian female artists and creative industries participants and their relationships with the EU creative and cultural sectors. The creative practices of Ukrainian female artists and creatives will be strengthened by fostering networking and collaboration with representatives from the EU creative sector and supporting the presentation and dissemination of their collaborative works.  

To fulfill these aims, Ukrainian Women project is starting a digital Cultural Cooperation Community (CCC) – an online platform where Ukrainian and European artists and creatives will meet to learn, network and co-create together.

This survey invites adult Ukrainian and European female artists and those partaking in creative activities to voice their needs and expectations for the CCC. The survey is anonymous and will take no longer than 7 minutes to complete. Click here to access it.

The survey is conducted by the research and design agency The Critical within the framework of the Creative Europe Programme project UkrainianWoman (project number 101174330), co-funded by the European Union.

Social Innovation Academy is the first fully online management training programme focusing exclusively on social innovation.

Why Social Innovation Academy? Social innovation has increasingly come to be perceived as the answer to the rising number of European societal challenges. While the European authorities, leading academics, policy experts, business people and activists agree that social innovation is the key to a better future for Europe and the world, it is extremely difficult for professionals to obtain high-quality training on what social innovation actually offers and, more importantly, how it can be done in practice.

The Social Innovation Academy is aiming to change this situation in Europe and beyond. If you are interested in keeping up with this project, you can subscribe to our newsletter, become one of our friends or follow us on social media (LinkedInTwitter and Facebook). We welcome all requests for collaboration here.
