    The article analyzes materials related to the activities of the German-Ukrainian platform «Kyiv Dialogue» in southern Ukraine, particularly in the Mykolaiv region, in 2017-2020. It was found that the platform built its work in the region on behalf of the German non-profit organization «European Exchange gGmbH» («Europäischer Austausch gGmbH») and in cooperation with the International Renaissance Foundation and local partners, and within the framework of two programs, «Strengthening Citizen Participation and City Development in the Regions of Ukraine» (2017-2019) and «United Network of Cities in Eight Regions of Ukraine to Support Local Reforms» (2019-2020), with financial support from the German Federal Foreign Office. The study focuses on specific projects and initiatives that have been implemented in the region, their results, and their significance for local communities. The aim of the article is to study and highlight the activities of the German-Ukrainian platform «Kyiv Dialogue» in the Mykolaiv region during 2017-2020 in the context of supporting the development of civil society, decentralization reform, and the formation of local initiatives, as well as to assess its impact on small towns and communities as an instrument of Germany's «soft power» in the region. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the first comprehensive analysis of the activities of the Kyiv Dialogue program in Mykolaiv region, highlighting its role in supporting local initiatives, strengthening citizen participation, and developing cities in the context of decentralization reform. Specific examples of successful projects that have contributed to the dissemination of knowledge about European values, project management practices, and fundraising are highlighted. The influence of the German Federal Foreign Office and the International Renaissance Foundation on these processes is also identified. Conclusions. The activities of the Kyiv Dialogue in Mykolaiv region have become an example of successful international cooperation, which not only provided financial support to small towns and newly formed territorial communities, but also contributed to the strengthening of civil society and the development of local identity. This cooperation resulted in dozens of public events and micro-projects, such as the opening of youth spaces, the creation of media centers, and educational programs for young people. Overall, the initiative helped to foster a positive attitude towards European processes and values and supported the further democratization of Ukraine.
