Support for the cultural sector and help across borders #solidarity

Emergency situation – How can I help? How can I be helped? Here we collect offers of support for the cultural sector as well as possibilities through which we can help people who are life-threatened by the effects of the Corona crisis. There is no guarantee of completeness, but we hope it will serve its purpose.
