From December 2025 to March 2026, France and Ukraine join forces on the cultural front to make the voice of a resilient and creative Ukrainian society resonate through a highlight: The Journey to Ukraine - A Ukrainian Season in France.

Culture as a space for resistance, dialogue and solidarity

Divided into some fifty events, Le Voyage en Ukraine allows visitors to discover new facets of Ukrainian society and culture in an unprecedented dialogue between artists, cultural professionals and civil society representatives from Ukraine and France. The Season also tackles major themes: human rights, health, the fight against disinformation, memory and heritage. It marks the commitment of the French authorities, and of many local players (local authorities, associations...) to provide lasting support to the Ukrainian people for the survival and independence of their language and the dissemination of their culture.

This Season features visual arts, performing arts, cinema, digital creation, as well as meetings and debates, in several French cities.

Through this plural programming, culture becomes a space for resistance, dialogue and solidarity, offering an immersion in contemporary Ukrainian identity and a reflection on recent upheavals in Europe.
