On 2 February 2023, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen and 15 EU Commissioners travelled to Kyiv to meet the Ukrainian Government. The meeting took place back to back with the EU-Ukraine summit, the first since the start of Russia's unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine and the granting of candidate status.
The College discussed with the Ukrainian government EU support to help Ukraine rebuild its cities in a high-quality, sustainable and inclusive way with the New European Bauhaus community. In March, the New European Bauhaus, together with Ukrainian partners (Covenant of Mayors East, Ro3kvit, ReThink) will launch a capacity-building programme for Ukrainian municipalities to prepare the reconstruction.
This programme will be available at the EU Academy. For that purpose, an online community called ‘Introduction to Capacity Building for Reconstruction’ was created on the platform for teams from small, medium and large municipalities in Ukraine to be able to improve competences and expertise on re-building; to receive tangible and practical help for rebuilding in local communities; and to connect and build a network of rebuilding actors and exchange best practices to address the most pressing challenges.
While the community is only available to representatives of Ukrainian municipalities, at a later stage its webinars will be open to a broader audience.
