From: Heidi Wiley <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 28, 2022 5:20 PM To: KUL min <[email protected]> Subject: International Cultural Collaboration with UKRAINE Must Be Supported by World Leaders Dear Mr Terik, We, the undersigned organisations, write to you on behalf of the European Cultural Community at an urgent time of need for our friends, colleagues and collaborators in Ukraine. Our sector is united in condemning the horrifying invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Together, as artists, directors, national organisations and European-level cultural organisations, we urge you to make funds and resources available so that cultural and other civil society organisations can continue to actively support Ukrainian colleagues. Our organisations are ready to receive and host artists, to stage performances, to organise events, to inform and facilitate access to resources, to advocate for a peaceful solution. But we cannot do this alone. We stress that the European cultural sector is united and that you can count on us. Please see here the full letter with signatories and an ongoing change.org petition urging this support.
