November 11–12, the international forum “Ukraine – Italy”

On November 11 and 12, the international forum “Ukraine – Italy” was held in the city of Silvi, Abruzzo region (Italy), bringing together representatives of 20 territorial communities from six regions of Ukraine.

The event was organized with the support of the National Congress of Ukrainian Associations in Italy, the NGO “Dobrobat,” and the NGO “FMP Friends of Ukraine.”

The forum became an important platform for developing partnership relations between Ukrainian communities and Italian municipalities. Participants presented the potential of their communities, discussed areas of cooperation in local self-government, digitalization, education, culture, youth exchanges, as well as opportunities to participate in European programs and recovery projects.

The Italian side confirmed its readiness to continue supporting Ukrainian communities and to strengthen inter-municipal partnerships, including humanitarian, cultural, and economic initiatives.

The forum in Silvi became another step toward strengthening the friendship between Ukraine and Italy and laid the foundation for new joint projects that will contribute to the development and recovery of Ukrainian communities.
