The aim of the capacity building programme that was announced by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Kyiv in February was to provide both inspiration and practical help for teams from Ukrainian municipalities involved in the reconstruction and rebuilding of Ukraine and to promote the values of the New European Bauhaus, sustainability, aesthetics and inclusion, as a guiding principle for the reconstruction.

The programme consisted of a series of online webinars running between April and June 2023. All modules were based on a thorough assessment of the needs of Ukrainian municipalities conducted in autumn 2022. In total, 67 teams from Ukrainian municipalities participated in the programme, which was organised by and with our Ukrainian partners Ro3kvit, ReThink, Covenant of Mayors East and the Architects’ Council of Europe.

During this one and half hour event, the main curators of each module will share key findings informing the beautiful, sustainable and inclusive reconstruction of Ukraine that is in line with the needs, interests and values of local communities. In addition, you will hear about the next steps in the NEB Actions for Ukraine and the “deep-dive” NEB programme that will follow.

This event is open to all stakeholders and everyone is able to follow the live stream through this link: https://webcast.ec.europa.eu/new-european-bauhaus-capacity-building-webinars-for-ukraine

The event will be held both in English and Ukrainian, with simultaneous translations and there will be a possibility to ask questions.

University of Athens

The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, which was inaugurated on May 3, 1837, was initially housed in a renovated Ottoman building on the northeastern side of the Acropolis. This building has since been restored and now functions as the University Museum. Originally named the "Othonian University," after Otto, the first king of Greece, it consisted of four academic departments and 52 students. As the first university of the newly established Greek state, as well as of the broader Balkan and Mediterranean region, it assumed an important socio-historical role, which was pivotal in the development of specific forms of knowledge and culture within the country.
