Initiatives here on site

The people in Ukraine need help, as do the many people who have fled. Here, the City of Aachen is collecting information on voluntary initiatives that already exist or new civic initiatives that are being set up to help the people in Ukraine.

Please send the city an e-mail to helfen@mail.aachen.de.

IN VIA

Free open meetings for Ukrainian refugees. The offer is free of charge and is primarily aimed at families. All information and registration (PDF), also in Ukrainian language


Culture helps culture

Culture professionals and culture lovers support refugees from Ukraine: In order to provide relief and financial security for artists who have fled Ukraine as a result of the war, the Kulturrat NRW has launched the "Culture Helps Culture" campaign. The associations and members of the Kulturrat NRW arrange living and working spaces, performance opportunities, artistic collaborations and training opportunities. New employment opportunities for artists, new projects, scholarships and more are considered. The Ministry of Culture supports the measures and the office of the Kulturrat NRW with appropriate resources. As a first unbureaucratic immediate measure, the Ministry is initially providing 100,000 euros for this purpose.
