Europe is facing turbulent times. For a decade now the EU has been in crisis, in many countries right-wing populist parties are on the rise, borders are no longer being torn down on the contrary a new “Fortress Europe” is being built.
We are aiming for an intense discussion of these issues at the Congress as there are coincidentally a range of encouraging approaches which give cause for hope that a different Europe can be brought to life. We want to discuss, in solidarity, the diverse struggles, forms of resistance and alternative approaches towards realising this vision. Why does current European and in particular EU policy-making only benefit the rich and powerful and not the many? What are the alternatives from a Good Life for All? How and with whom do we want to bring about change in the European Union and the whole of Europe? Our focus, in line with a mosaic left, is on overcoming differences and finding common ground for joint demands and political campaigns.
The Congress will have various formats providing participants with the opportunity to hear interesting speakers and actively participate in the discussions. Fora with interesting panels will address EU reform, social issues, climate justice, flight and migration, right-wing populism, militarism, economic imbalance, privatisation policies, and democratisation within the European context. Furthermore, there are numerous workshops enabling participant discussion on diverse EU and European issues.
