The Institute of Federalism, in collaboration with the LEGITIMULT project, will host an Online Practitioners’ Course on “Crisis Management: Strengthening Regional and Local Governance”, scheduled from 13 to 23 May 2025.

Grounded in findings from the LEGITIMULT project, this course will be conducted by specialists in local and regional governance, academic faculty from the University of Fribourg, and experienced practitioners. It is designed to provide a focused exploration of multilevel governance, emphasizing the responsibilities and opportunities of regional and local governments in addressing crises while safeguarding fundamental rights.

Participants will examine key areas where local authorities play a central role, including housing, education, and public health. The course will also address the broader implications of crisis management for fostering inclusive societies and ensuring equitable access to essential services.
