In April 2025, the Ukrainian Public Union «Spatial Parks Cluster of Ukraine» nominated Sofiyivka for participation in the Horizon (Horizon Europe) 2025 call, in the area of innovative formats for cultural heritage.
We are proud to announce that the project has been selected as one of the winners.
This success opens up a new stage in Sofiyivka’s development: the park will receive grant funding to develop immersive art formats and cutting-edge technologies for visitor engagement.
About the Immersive ECHO Programme
The Immersive ECHO project is designed to make cultural heritage more accessible, understandable, and inspiring for audiences of all ages – especially young people.
The programme develops scalable and affordable solutions that enable even regional museums to create their own immersive exhibitions without large budgets.
Immersive ECHO supports:
- digital transformation,
- development of new creative competencies,
- broad community engagement in heritage preservation,
- international cooperation among museums and cultural institutions across Europe.
The grant opens a strategically important phase for Sofiyivka: the creation of modern, interactive, and technology-based formats for presenting the park’s history and culture.
