Scholarships for fellows calculated according to real life costs in respective countries

Example

Funding for activities

Funding for activities developed in collaboration with local partner/host

approx. 5000 eur/project

in collaboration with and supported by a host organization, a fellow can develop or continue a project within their sphere of impact that would be connected to Ukraine.

Time frame
