Fifteen years ago, the EU Strategy for the Danube Region was launched. This policy priority devotes special and sustained attention to the integration and development of South-Eastern Europe, underpinned by the realisation that a strong, united, democratic Europe living in peace and freedom can only emerge if the integration of South-Eastern Europe is successful.<\/p>\n<p>At a time of multiple crises, geopolitical tensions and ongoing attacks on freedom, self-determination and the rule of law, it is more important than ever to develop shared European perspectives and to advance practical cooperation at all levels. \u00a0Against this backdrop, key questions arise: How should the current situation be assessed? Where do the greatest challenges lie? And what responses can Europe offer? This is particularly true with regard to the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, against the backdrop of Russia\u2019s ongoing war of aggression.<\/p>\n<p>The Danube connects ten countries and stands for diversity, exchange and cooperation in Europe. The International Danube Festival Ulm\/Neu-Ulm has been a living expression of this idea since 1998: it brings people together, promotes cross-border encounters and strengthens mutual understanding. As an important festival with a focus on south-eastern Europe, it offers a platform for political discussions and shared perspectives for the future - with cities and regions as important promoters of dialogue and a stable, democratic Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The event on 4 July provides a dedicated platform for information and discussion on key issues concerning Europe\u2019s future and current challenges \u2013 with a particular focus on Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova. It is aimed at all citizens with an interest in politics, representatives of institutions and international guests who are gathering in Ulm and Neu-Ulm for the opening celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>Organiser: State of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg and Danube Office Ulm\/Neu-Ulm<br \/>\nin co-operation with the Southeast Europe Society<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.cloud.microsoft\/pages\/responsepage.aspx?id=L6K468GyvUSxPtXTOv_MTQBRSjfLLqBAjzQo8MXetYZURDZEVDVKUTBONk9ERURWRjBKMDNURUJNWCQlQCN0PWcu&amp;utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Juni+2026&amp;route=shorturl\"><strong>To the registration\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/donaufest.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/EINLADUNG_Grenzen-ueberwinden-Zukunft-gestalten_Festakt-Stadthaus-Ulm-1.pdf\"><strong>Detailed programme here\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5654\" src=\"https:\/\/donaufest.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BaWue_Logo_rgb_pos-scaled.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"492\" height=\"76\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5676\" src=\"https:\/\/donaufest.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SOEG.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"395\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donaufest.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SOEG.jpg 395w, https:\/\/donaufest.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SOEG-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/donaufest.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SOEG-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 395px) 100vw, 395px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5848\" src=\"https:\/\/donaufest.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Logo-15-years-EUSDR-small.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"364\" height=\"87\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donaufest.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Logo-15-years-EUSDR-small.jpg 2248w, https:\/\/donaufest.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Logo-15-years-EUSDR-small-300x72.jpg 300w, https:\/\/donaufest.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Logo-15-years-EUSDR-small-1024x245.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/donaufest.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Logo-15-years-EUSDR-small-768x184.jpg 768w, https:\/\/donaufest.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Logo-15-years-EUSDR-small-1536x368.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/donaufest.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Logo-15-years-EUSDR-small-2048x490.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/donaufest.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Logo-15-years-EUSDR-small-18x4.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20 Jahre Engagement des Landes Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg im Donauraum Seit nunmehr 20 Jahren engagiert sich das Land Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg in besonderem Ma\u00dfe f\u00fcr eine strategische Kooperation im Donauraum.
