II Swedish-Ukrainian Municipal Partnership Forum

20-21 May, Skogshem & Wijk – Lidingö, Sweden

The Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR) and its international development organization, SALAR International, invite you to participate in the Second Swedish-Ukrainian Municipal Partnership Forum.

Since 2014, SALAR has actively supported local governance and decentralization reforms in Ukraine, contributing to the development of a stronger and more resilient nation. Following the full-scale Russian invasion, SALAR co-founded the Cities4Cities initiative, which fosters long-term partnerships between Ukrainian and international municipalities. In Sweden alone, 40 new municipal partnerships have been established since 2022.

Why Participate?

  • Explore Swedish and Ukrainian experiences in resilience and local governance.
  • Learn about best practices in sustainability, gender budgeting, and intermunicipal cooperation.
  • Join interactive sessions on cultural understanding and collaboration.
  • Take part in collaborative workshops to explore future cooperation opportunities practically and engagingly.

The forum will bring together municipal representatives, local governance experts, international partners, and organizations supporting Ukrainian communities.

Simultaneous interpretation in English and Ukrainian will be available throughout the event.
