The conference aims to set out a vision and strategy for the democratic transformation of Europe to become both ecologically responsible and socially just, and hence truly hospitable. It takes place exactly 30 years on from the fall of the Berlin wall, and brought together activists, politicians and intellectuals from across the continent. The Green European Journal Editor-in-Chief is among those in attendance.
