On Monday, September 9, the public organization “Insha Osvita” launched the scholarship project “VILNO/VILNO” for veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war, who before mobilization worked in the fields of education, culture and art .

The program will help to adapt to civilian life. This is stated in the press release provided by Suspilne Kultura.

Within the program 10 veteranswill be able to receive funds for recovery and adaptation to civilian life. They can also count on psychological and legal assistance, attend meetings with colleagues from the civil sphere for support in reintegration.

The program is available for all cities and regions of Ukraine. It will last 4 months, during which veterans will receive 600 euros. This money can be used for training, renting a workplace, materials for work, etc.

Program participants will also be able to apply to funding for the creation of an artistic or educational project. Grant funds can be used to create sound work or video art, rent a workshop, create an installation, translate your own book, create a podcast. Within this program, three projects will be chosen.

We want the border between veterans and the civilian environment to become as invisible as possible. So that the tangible lack of people decreases, and the slow development of the environment becomes less tangible, – operational manager of NGO “Insha Osvita” Yulia Alenina noted.

  • be a veteran who worked in cultural, educational or artistic fields before serving;
