About the call
The Partnership Fund for a Resilient Ukraine funds the practical rollout of Ukraine's guidelines on accessible cultural services and the wider barrier-free agenda. Supported initiatives may improve the digital and audiovisual accessibility of cultural content, develop inclusive programming, create accessible formats (audio description, subtitles, sign-language interpretation, Braille, tactile elements, audio guides), adapt cultural events and train the staff of cultural institutions.
Priority goes to NGOs already working with state, regional or municipal cultural institutions in PFRU target communities. The proposal, budget, self-assessment form and risk matrix are emailed with the RFA reference number in the subject line.
