MISSION
Ukrainian music talents invested time and efforts in their art for dozens of years. Music is the unified language around the globe and deserves to be protected. It remains a powerful soft power tool and an integral part of cultural diplomacy during the war. With this support program we want to provide the financial help to Ukrainian artists, so they could continue working and be represented internationally. 

 

WHAT WE DO

  1. Fundraising, so we can give small scholarships for artists to stay afloat;
  2. Connect European promoters with the Ukrainian artists abroad, so they can cooperate for the charity concerts and longer creative cooperation;
  3. Closely work with music media, blogs and radio stations worldwide to spread the information about Ukrainian acts and current situation in the country;
  4. Develop an online platform for a job search in the music industry in the EU and beyond. We have contacts of hundreds of European music organizations, who would be happy to provide jobs for Ukrainian specialists. We stimulate their cooperation and economic stability of our sector in a long-term perspective. 

The whole industry will suffer stagnation and stabilization for a long period of time. Our industry stops among the first ones and can be recovered among the last ones. Music talents have a right to live, be safe and continue their work and this is why this support program was created.
