Culture of Solidarity Fund
In 2020 the Culture of Solidarity Fund was launched to support cultural initiatives that, in the midst of turmoil and crisis, reinforce European solidarity and the idea of Europe as a shared public space. Since then they have launched 7 editions ranging from supporting cultural actors in the Corona crisis, regional and thematic editions, to dedicated Ukraine editions.
