Roundtable Conversation: Faith-based actors in Ukraine

Since the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022, many Danish faith-based organisations have been engaged in humanitarian assistance, relief, and reconstruction efforts in Ukraine, as well as in supporting Ukrainian displaced people in Denmark.

This afternoon, we invite all organisations and active individuals to take part in a shared conversation about goals and priorities for 2026–2027. The event will provide an opportunity to exchange perspectives, coordinate efforts, and perhaps identify new partners in our collective work to support Ukraine.

It will also be an opportunity to meet the Ukrainian ambassador, Andrii Yanevskyi, and his team, who serve as a crucial gateway to Ukraine and to smoother collaboration.

We hope this gathering will strengthen our joint efforts for Ukraine, and we look forward to meeting our partners.
