Solidarity Partnerships with Ukrainian Municipalities: A Call for Action
The war in Ukraine continues, and the support from European municipalities has never been more crucial. Ukrainian municipalities are not just surviving—they are adapting, innovating, and striving to rebuild. At Cities4Cities, we believe that international municipal partnerships are essential to helping them succeed.
How You Can Get Involved
We invite European municipalities to join us in building solidarity partnerships with Ukrainian communities. These partnerships provide essential support to Ukrainian municipalities and offer invaluable opportunities for European cities to gain first-hand insights into crisis management, resilience, and rebuilding efforts—lessons that will become even more relevant in the post-war period.
Now is the time to form strong, mutually beneficial connections with active and motivated Ukrainian municipalities, setting the foundation for long-term cooperation.
How We Support You
At Cities4Cities, we make it easy for municipalities to connect with the right partners. Here’s how we can support you:
- Matchmaking: We help find the right Ukrainian municipality that aligns with your city’s profile, values, and goals. These are communities that are motivated, well-organized, and ready for collaboration.
- Translation and Moderation: We provide translation services for your first online meetings and assist with moderating discussions to ensure smooth communication.
- Ongoing Support: Especially in the early stages, we provide communication assistance, guidance, and practical support to help establish and maintain a strong partnership.
- Expertise and Best Practices: As one of the founding cities of the Cities4Cities platform, Sindelfingen has gathered extensive hands-on experience in solidarity partnerships. This includes organizing joint humanitarian aid shipments, hosting youth and children’s programs, donating municipal vehicles, and collaborating on grant applications for funding.
Why Solidarity Partnerships Matter
Solidarity partnerships with Ukrainian municipalities are not only a form of support but also an opportunity for European municipalities to grow. Ukrainian communities have valuable expertise in overcoming crises, rebuilding, and sustaining essential services during war. Their resilience and innovation are lessons that European municipalities can learn from, providing insights that will be critical in the future.
This partnership is an opportunity to build long-term connections with communities that are dedicated to rebuilding and thriving. Ukrainian municipalities are ready for collaboration—now is the time to act and establish meaningful partnerships.
