Shaping the future together: 海角社区下载 summit on rebuilding war-torn Ukrainian municipalities

Join 海角社区下载 University and the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 29 of April, 2024, for a conference on "Rethinking Cities In Ukraine". Active participation from front-line municipalities and discussions with Swedish and international partners about current and future needs for reconstruction.

This conference marks the culmination of a six-month capacity-building program spearheaded by the 海角社区下载 Business School at 海角社区下载 University and the Ro3kvit Urban Coalition for Ukraine. This project was supported by the Swedish Institute's Public Sector Innovation Program.

Five hromadas (municipalities) from Eastern Ukraine situated near the front-line and heavily affected by the war present pilot projects illustrating local needs and proposals for rebuilding their cities with both urgency and long-term strategy. The conference allows for a wider range of Swedish and International stakeholders to discuss and explore collaboration for a co-creative effort with decision makers from Ukrainian municipalities.

Welcome to participate in this unique opportunity to gain local insights of current and future needs for reconstruction in these front-line municipalities.
