Op-ed: Beyond the Missiles – A call for a €1bn European Cultural deal for Ukraine

“While the world focuses on military tactics in Ukraine, a quieter war rages for the soul of the nation…..Amidst all the talk a critical front is being ignored: the cultural front.”

In an op’ed for EU Observer our Head of Public Policy makes the case for a one billion euro European Cultural Deal for Ukraine:

“Aware of the deep cultural dimension of the conflict, the initiators of the Cultural Deal for Europe campaign – European Cultural Foundation, Culture Action Europe, Europa Nostra – supported by hundreds of arts, culture, and civil society actors, including important philanthropies like TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary and Museums for Ukraine, have come together calling for a European Cultural Deal for Ukraine.

The European Cultural Deal for Ukraine proposes a strategic, longterm vision for Ukraine, firmly attached to European values and with a solid European sentiment towards its people.”
