ZMINA: Rebuilding International Showcasing of Co-creation Projects Ukraine–Creative Europe Countries

Overview
The ZMINA: Resilience initiative, administered by the IZOLYATSIA Foundation (Ukraine), Malý Berlín (Slovakia), and Trans Europe Halles (Sweden), invites cultural and arts organisations to apply for funding under its 'Support for international showcasing of co-creation projects' strand. The call is rolling, with no application fee, and is designed to extend the reach of works already produced through partnerships between at least one Ukrainian organisation and at least one organisation from another Creative Europe country. The programme is situated within a broader effort to sustain Ukrainian cultural practice and its European dialogues, prioritising public presentation events that bring these co-creations to wider audiences in Ukraine and across Creative Europe countries. Grants support implementation periods of up to seven months. The curatorial emphasis falls on maximising visibility, audience engagement, sustainability, and the future showcasing potential of the works in question. All creative and cultural sectors are eligible, with the exception of audiovisual. This is not a production grant; it is a mobility and presentation grant, intended for organisations ready to tour, exhibit, perform, or otherwise platform existing co-created projects. The funders seek proposals that demonstrate a clear, feasible plan for public encounter and that consider how the work might continue to circulate after the funded period. Because the call is rolling, there is no single deadline, but the review process rewards preparedness. Applicants should present a coherent partnership structure, a defined showcasing context, and a realistic budget. The absence of a fee and the rolling format lower barriers to entry, yet the requirement for cross-border co-creation and public presentation demands a level of institutional readiness. This is a grant for organisations that can articulate not only what the work is, but why and how it should be seen now.
