Within the framework of the III International Summit of Cities and Regions, the Community Recovery Academy project was presented to European partners
The flagship educational project, the Community Recovery Academy, which has already been completed by more than 100 representatives of municipalities from 37 Ukrainian communities in 14 regions, was presented on the sidelines of the III International Summit of Cities and Regions.
This was announced by the mayor of Mariupol Vadym Boichenko.
Thus, a meeting was held with the Secretary General of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe, Mathieu Maury, the President of the Congress, Mark Coals, the Special Envoy of the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Reconstruction of Ukraine, Mr. Davide La Cecilia, and the Secretary General of the European Association of Local Democracy (ALDA), Ms. Antonella Valmorbida.
Thanked the partners for creating a crucial tool for restoring justice - the Register of Damages for Ukraine, established by the Council of Europe. This mechanism sends a clear signal: Ukraine and Europe are united in the pursuit of justice. We do not forget the pain and losses suffered by our city and continue to fight for justice
I also told the partners about the Community Recovery Academy, its results and future plans. In the context of post-war recovery, this project is extremely important because it trains professionals who can effectively respond to challenges, develop communities, and return people home.
In addition, it was about providing IDPs with quality social housing. Cooperation with ALDA on the development of social housing projects will help to study and adapt the best European practices in Ukraine.
As a reminder, the Community Recovery Academy, founded by the Association of Ukrainian Cities and Mariupol Reborn, aims to train managers for Ukraine's recovery period. The project is being implemented with the support of the UK Government under the UK International Development program and the International Republican Institute (IRI Ukraine) in partnership with Metinvest and SCM. The educational partners of the project are Metinvest Polytechnic and the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.
