In June, it is Sweden’s turn to host PrepAlliance’s second partner meeting. This meeting focuses on building crisis preparedness among citizens – what it means and what our organisations can do to help.

On day 1, we will work with ”Neighbourhood preparedness”, a material guiding organisations to become a resource in times of crisis, produced by The National Federation of Community Centres and Studieförbundet Vuxenskolan. On day 2, we will share knowledge on how to engage citizens in preparedness work – and how to use our network for new opportunities. 

Date: June 2nd–3rd
Location: Ystad, Sweden
Organizer: Hållbar Utveckling Skåne

Sign up here!

About PrepAlliance Crises can take many forms – war, pandemics, extreme weather, or resource shortages. Experience shows that preparedness is not only about resources but about solidarity, trust, and engaged citizens. PrepAlliance fills the gap between civil society and public organisations in the South Baltic Programme area by connecting organisations across borders, sharing best practices, and creating a stronger, more resilient society together.

This project is co-financed by the Interreg South Baltic Programme 2021-2027.
