Slovenian Models for Sustainable Housing: Practical Solutions for Ukrainian Regions and IDP Response will take place from 6 to 10 July 2026 in Ljubljana, Bled and Celje, Slovenia.

CEP is hosting a thematic visit for Ukrainian representatives of municipalities, regional authorities and housing professionals working on housing policy, urban development and the response to the needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs).

The programme will present Slovenian approaches to sustainable housing development, combining policy discussions with practical examples of non-profit housing, municipal housing strategies, innovative financing models and participatory urban planning. Through expert presentations, workshops and site visits, participants will exchange experiences, discuss common challenges and explore solutions that could support housing reconstruction and long-term resilience in Ukraine.

The visit will also provide an opportunity to connect Slovenian and Ukrainian experts, strengthen institutional cooperation and identify good practices that can be adapted to the Ukrainian context. Particular attention will be given to affordable housing, community-led approaches and strategic planning for post-war recovery.

The initiative contributes to CEP’s broader support for Ukraine by strengthening local capacities, fostering knowledge exchange and promoting sustainable regional development as part of Ukraine’s European integration process.

The Recovery and Reconstruction in Ukraine programme is supported by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia through the Slovenian Aid & Partnerships programme.
