"As the network of European Union National Institutes for Culture, we collectively condemn the aggression against Ukraine, a blatant and unprovoked attack on democracy. We express our support and solidarity with our colleagues, peers and the people of Ukraine. Our work as a network of cultural relations practitioners strives for an approach of dialogue in the pursuit of trust and a peaceful global order.
Our Ukrainian cultural partners are hugely impacted by the violence, and we stand in solidarity with them. EUNIC’s engagement with, and in Ukraine has been highly active for many years: EUNIC’s Ukraine cluster is composed of 13 EUNIC members and elsewhere in the world Ukrainian embassies and cultural centres are partners in several of EUNIC’s other clusters worldwide. Current and recent major initiatives in Ukraine led by, and collectively with, EUNIC members include House of Europe and Culture Bridges, two multi-annual multi-million euro projects creating deep and varied opportunities for capacity building, professional and cultural exchange between Ukrainian and EU cultural actors.
In its recent work EUNIC has published a study on fragile contexts as well as research on the contribution of cultural relations to building peace and stability. In November 2021 we held a knowledge sharing workshop on artistic freedom of expression together with UNESCO, and this spring we will come together to identify next steps in terms concrete initiatives to support diaspora Afghan cultural workers. We strongly condemn the acts of aggression in Ukraine and as a community of cultural relations organisations, EUNIC and its members will seek to use our resources, influence and shared learning from other fragile contexts to continue to actively support Ukrainian civil society and cultural actors. This will be done by whatever means possible both within Ukraine as well as abroad."

Liszt Institute – Hungarian Cultural Center Ljubljana
Our Institute has opened its doors in the Slovene capital in January 2016. Our main task is to protect and to present Hungary’s cultural heritage to a broad audience as well as to deepen the good cultural and artistic relations between Hungary and Slovenia. Apart from that, the Institute promotes international cooperation on the field of culture and research and the study of Hungarian language. By organizing a wide range of cultural events, we strive to raise the attention of the Slovene public to the traditional and yet constantly renewing Hungarian cultural scene. Our goal is to promote cooperation between Hungarian and Slovene cultural professionals and to invite more and more Slovenes to our country so they have the possibility of discovering the richness of the Hungarian cultural and artistic scene themselves.
