Ukrainian Dialogues

Indivisible Europe: Norwegian - Ukrainian Dialogues on Euro-Atlantic Integration

The objective of the project is to strengthen research networks on international relations between Ukraine and Norway, enhance the capacity of Ukrainian NGOs to address and monitor national security challenges, and to engage Ukrainian NGOs - especially young specialists - in a broad dialogue on shared security challenges in wider Europe. The over-all aim of the project will be to facilitate the transfer of competence and knowledge, and to engage national NGOs in formulating current and future needs to address questions of relevance for Ukraine.

To the extent that it is feasible, the project will include contributions from other international actors. The project will be coordinated with a related Danish project administered by DATA/ DIIS in order to increase Nordic synergetic effects of the dialogue projects.

The project will be coordinated by the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) in conjunction with NUPI resources and the Norwegian Atlantic Committee (DNAK). NUPI is currently the Norwegian national contact point for the umbrella of Ukrainian NGOs dealing with transatlantic and security issues - the Civic League.

By engaging young people in discussions on the future role of Ukraine in relation both to the EU, NATO and Russia, we hope to increase the regional knowledge of the Euro-Atlantic structures as well as to form the basis for an active civil society among primarily the youth in Ukraine.
