Many civil society actors in Ukraine have lost their local context as well as their integrality as teams and organizations, have been disconnected from their end beneficiaries, and are largely deprived of their main senses.
Moreover, opportunities for civic engagement have been constrained by the economic hardship that has resulted from the displacement of refugees.
This program aims to support the continuation of work of Ukrainian civil society actors in connection to diverse European partners.
Vidnova Fellowship is an individually designed program for civil society actors from Ukraine, that enables them to continue their work and to network with other European and Ukrainian partner organizations.
