Stand With Ukraine participated in the forum organized by Cities4Cities in Lviv to promote local partnerships between the European Union and Ukraine
This week, Stand With Ukraine took part in a forum organized by the Ukrainian initiative Cities4Cities on November 27–28, 2023, in Lviv. Dedicated to fostering local partnerships between Ukraine and the European Union, the event marked the first edition of what is planned to become an annual forum supporting EU-Ukraine cooperation.
The forum, which brought together over 200 participants, initiated discussions on topics such as Ukraine’s integration into the European Union, local diplomacy in wartime Ukraine, and the development of twinning partnerships between Ukrainian and European municipalities. Participants, representing cities engaged in partnerships, shared their experiences and insights.
Stand With Ukraine plays a major role in fostering cooperation between French and Ukrainian cities. The association has facilitated the establishment of over 60 partnerships, enabling numerous initiatives such as hosting Ukrainian children in Paris’ 18th arrondissement and Sainte-Menehould in the Marne department.
