Ukrainian-Swedish Forum: Building a Shared Horizon
Ukrainian–Swedish Forum, initiated by Saint Ignatios College, is a platform for long-term dialogue and action regarding Ukraine's reconstruction and democratic renewal. It brings together the Ukrainian diaspora in Sweden with Swedish actors from academia, churches and civil society to reflect on Ukraine's current challenges and jointly create visions for a democratic and resilient future — for Ukraine and for Europe.
