About the event
On October 17th at 6:00 PM, we invite you to join the webinar “Alexander Langer Peacebuilder: Lessons and Legacies for Europe Today”, organized with the support of the Alexander Langer Foundation.
Marking the 30th anniversary of Langer’s passing, this event pays tribute to one of Europe’s most influential Green voices: a bridge-builder between communities, movements, and ideas. His message of peace and ecological responsibility remains highly relevant today. At this occasion, the Green European Journal recently published an article titled Alexander Langer, peacebuilder, revisiting his life, work, and passionate commitment to dialogue and reconciliation.
Building on this article, the webinar will explore Langer’s legacy and reflect on how his ideas and concrete actions can be applied today to promote ecological transition and peace in the context of contemporary Europe.
