XJAZZ! for Ukraine
Together with Anastasiia Pokaz from Odessa/Ukraine, we developed different Formats in order to raise awareness and money to support projects in Ukraine.
These projects were realized during XJAZZ!, but they are also developed as a toolbox to be implemented in other festivals easily:
1) Trailer “Voices” (https://youtu.be/nYrWbtWlgkE)
2) Protest Posters
3) Fundraising Concerts
4) Distant Duos

Here you find a presentation how we implemented them in the festival:
