Münster is to host the 7th German-Ukrainian municipal partnership conference

Münster will host the seventh German-Ukrainian municipal partnership conference from 16 to 18 June 2025 together with its Ukrainian partner city Vinnytsia.

The partnership conferences have been held at different locations since 2016 on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The city of Münster writes: ‘The aim of the conference is to strengthen the network of German-Ukrainian municipal partnerships, to identify opportunities for cooperation between Ukrainian, German and other European partner municipalities in times of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine and to send a signal of solidarity with the Ukrainian municipalities.’

One of the reasons why the twinning conference is being held in Münster this year is the good cooperation between the two twin cities. Their partnership began in 2022 and was sealed in 2023 thanks to the close mediation of the Polish twin city of Lublin. Since then, the Münster-Lublin-Winnytsia trio has organised several aid deliveries to Ukraine.

The City of Münster is now looking for honorary staff to carry out the partnership conference and, in particular, to provide linguistic and organisational support for the participants. Please find the job advertisement here.
