House of Europe is an EU-funded programme fostering professional and creative exchange between Ukrainians and their colleagues in EU countries and the UK.
The programme focuses on different professional fields: culture and creative industries, education and youth work, social entrepreneurship, and media. An additional priority is put on supporting the national minorities of Ukraine.
This encompasses 15+ separate programme lines enabling Ukrainians to carry out personal projects, or to enrol in courses, conferences, and internships in the EU and the UK. The programme funds cultural cooperation and literature translation between Ukraine and the EU and the UK, along with the revitalisation of cultural infrastructure. House of Europe supports the safeguarding of Ukrainian cultural heritage, the development of creative businesses and media projects, and the holding of cultural events outside the Kyiv bubble. Various learning and matchmaking opportunities, such as Digital Labs, workshops, discussions, conferences, and hackathons, are offered.
The programme is implemented by Goethe-Institut Ukraine.
