The Ukrainian Institute and the Delegation of the European Union to Ukraine are launching the Alteration programme

April 8, 2021.

    Alteration is a programme that consists of a series of online events for professionals in the cultural field. It is aimed to define new efficient approaches to establishing, building and developing intercultural relations and connections between EU and Ukrainian cultural and civil society actors in conditions of pandemic-induced uncertainty, changes, and instability. It is a mutual initiative of the EU Delegation to Ukraine and the Ukrainian Institute, supported via the EU-funded Cultural Relations Platform.
    The programme will cover questions such as: how international cultural relations should transform in the “new reality”; how digital tools should be used for better efficiency; what best case practices exist in international cultural relations and among cultural institutions in the EU and in Ukraine that can be of use for other institutions; how to promote cultural initiatives and products using digital tools.
    "The Alteration programme is another initiative of the European Union in Ukraine aimed to assist culture and creative sectors operators to recover after the COVID-19 crisis, to restore their links with European peers and to incorporate best practices of survival and development in the conditions of the ‘new normal’. We are glad to cooperate with the Ukrainian Institute, one of the most dynamic and modern institutions of the country’s cultural ecosystem", – said Xavier Camus, acting Head of Cooperation at the European Union Delegation to Ukraine.
    “It is impossible to know how long the lockdown will last and fully estimate its consequences. Nevertheless, the cultural institutions are trying to learn what opportunities are opening beyond closed borders. We are keen to know which changes have become inevitable and which challenges have made us stronger. There is less understanding of what kind of future challenges can emerge but we continue to learn to be resilient. Despite all obstacles and lockdowns, our partnership with the EU gives us a real chance to establish meaningful connections, create a sense of belonging and build capacities for professional integration”, – comments Iryna Prokofieva, Programme Director at the Ukrainian Institute.
    The series of events will kick off with the online conference The New Normal of Cultural Relations on 29 April. Registration via the link: https://forms.office.com/r/84WB5qDFbv
