We decided to discuss resilience, recovery and democracy at a suitable place - the European Solidarity Centre. This venue shows a peaceful road towards change not only in #Poland but throughout Europe. It is not a museum, it is a living organization. @Dulkiewicz_A @gdansk

We regional authorities continue to provide support and assistance to #Ukraine, but we must face the crises arising from the situation. Access to education is a big problem for Ukrainian children, with up to 200,000 at risk of being left out of the system this year. @Pomorskie_EU

Innovation strengthens local resilience & improves our local communities' capacity to face emergencies. It also protects citizens, supports local economies & competitiveness. This way we can ensure a vision of the future and jobs for the next generation. @OGeblewicz @EU_CoR

#Gdansk is the cradle of freedom. The next #EU election will decide the road that 🇵🇱 will take in the #EU. It will also be about the development of local government. Decentralisation would give cities and regions ability to respond rapidly to challenges and crises. @MKierwinski

We have to stand up for Europe by strengthening our dialogue with citizens, our youth and by empowering local and regional levels’ voice within the European institutions. The voice of our mayors needs to be heard as they speak on behalf of citizens. @SMuresan #EPPLocalDialogue

Innovation is an important tool in the era of recovery & resilience. Through innovation we shall change, improve, invent, advance, re-imagine and use the challenges to go further, not simply to 'recover' or/and go back to the 'old normal'. @Dulkiewicz_A @gdansk #EPPLocalDialogue

The populist Polish government is breaking the rule of law leads to #Poland being deprived of funding from the RRF. It is difficult to innovate when there is no funding available. But despite this, we must not diminish our level of ambition on innovation and the green transition.

Rural areas need innovation even more than urban areas, they are lagging behind. We are now facing several crises. But these can also be an opportunity to make a transformation in the rural areas happen.

My region produces 24% of 🇵🇱 GDP, makes 17% of Poland's enterprises – mostly micro and small companies. We have to aptly combine the growth of cities– where various research institutes and universities are based – with the growth of other regions through education. @StruzikAdam

As shown in different studies, most regions and cities consider that multilevel governance and subsidiarity principles have not been respected in the implementation of the #RRF and that Local/Regional Authorities are not properly engaged in this facility. @robjonkman

We are helping #Ukraine directly by sending ambulances and power generators. We also organised summer camps for children. We have already spent over 100 million PLN from #EU support for this aim. @strukmieczyslaw @Pomorskie_EU @EU_CoR #StandWithUkraine #EPPLocalDialogue

Democracy can't defend itself. Recent crises helped to form conspiracy theories, to form empty movements, to spread fake news. To deliver the right information, we have to mobilise our local society and include all levels of governance. @AAbramavicius #EPPLocalDialogue @EU_CoR

We want to rebuild our country and to join the #EU. This can only happen through close cooperation at all levels of government. As 🇺🇦 local/regional authorities we want to build bridges of cooperation with EU cities/regions in order to properly assist and support our communities.

Wonderful contributions today, ranging from innovation, education to values and democracy as well as solidarity.
We have heard #Ukraine's call. And we stand with them. Despite what they are going through, we have heard of their hopes.

Harnessing the potential of young generations means investing in their education, in their representation, and in their voices. It's about creating an environment where they feel empowered to step forward and take the reins of their future. @E_Lukosius @edsnet #EPPLocalDialogue
