SUMMARY:Political Ecology Days (Brussels)
DESCRIPTION:About the Event:\nThe first edition of the Political Ecology Days will assemble key actors and thinkers in the field of political ecology\, and aims to repeat this once every two years for the next decade. Political ecology is at a crossroads\, which means there is a need to put things back in perspective\, update its founding principles\, and create a new narrative that cuts through in practice and in people’s minds. \nWith over 20 sessions\, including lectures\, seminars and participative workshops\, the Political Ecology Days will cover a range of topics within three central themes: (co)inhabiting the earth differently\, becoming resilient and reinventing democracy. \nThis event was originally set to take place in March and was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, but we are eager to welcome you to this adapted edition!  \nSpeakers:\nFeatured speakers and moderators include: \n\nBenedetta De Marte\, European Green Party\nDirk Holemans\, Oikos\nDominique Bourg\, University of Lausanne\nDominique Meda\, University of Paris-Dauphine\nEdgar Morin\, philosopher and sociologist\nIsabelle Stengers\, Université libre de Bruxelles\nLucile Schmid\, La Fabrique Ecologique\nMichel Bauwens\, P2P Foundation\nMohammed Taleb\, philosopher\nMonica Frassoni\, European Green Party\nPaul Lannoye\, Ecolo\n\nAnd many more!  \nProgramme: \nThe following sessions are organised by GEF. The primary language is French\, but all workshops will be recorded and translated and subtitled versions will be made available afterwards. \nSaturday\, 24/10 \n\n10:30 – 12:30 Environmentalism\, Populism and the Far Right\n\nModerated by Michel Genet\, with Florent Marcellesi and Reinhard Olschanski \n\n14:00 – 16:00 The Many Strands of Political Ecology\n\nModerated by Benedetta de Marte\, with Dirk Holemans\, Edouart Gaudot\, and Monica Frassoni \nSunday\, 25/10 \n\n14:00 – 16:00 Green Talks\n\n10 mini-talks of 8 minutes each\, inspired by Three Minute Thesis and TEDx formats. \nYou can consult the full three-day programme here.  \nPracticalities:\nWhen? 23-25 October\, 10:00-22:00 \nWhere?

SUMMARY:Ecopolis – Again(st) Nature (Brussels\, Belgium)
DESCRIPTION:About Ecopolis: \nAnno 2020. Nature is on fire\, from Australia to the Ardennes. Forests are felled\, no more insects on the windshield\, concrete everywhere\, a million species are in danger of extinction. A virus turns the world upside down. The exploitation of nature is threatening our existence. Vulnerable groups here and in the South are facing even harder times. \nHow much longer do we saw off the very branch that supports us? Or do we change course? \nEcopolis 2020 puts the finger on the pulse and looks ahead. What are the post-corona challenges? How do we feel part of nature again? How do we restore the balance? How does this support a vigorous climate and nature policy? Which transitions are necessary ― urban\, agricultural\, etc. ― for a society that respects people and nature? And gives everyone prospect of a good life. \nEcopolis 2020 is moving online\, follow the event at home via livestream. \nDue to the recent increase of coronavirus infections\, we have had to take a difficult decision. This year’s edition will have no live audience\, and will move entirely online. We will build a cosy studio on the Kaaitheater stage and stream the lectures and conversations directly to your living room\, with opportunities for online interaction. \nSpeakers:\n\nJan Rotmans\, Urgenda\nWarda El-Kaddouri\, De Groene Amsterdammer\nYousra Benfquih\, University of Antwerp\nHans Van Dyck\, UCLouvain\nTom Bauler\, Université Libre de Bruxelles\nHendrik Schoukens\, Ghent University\nAnuna De Wever\, climate activist\nEva Meijer\, Wageningen University\nMyriam Dumortier\, Ghent University\n\nAnd many more names to be announced! \nProgramme: \n11:00 – 12:30 | Corona lessons for a resilient society \nThe corona crisis has taught us that you cannot just cut down forests or deal carelessly with animals endlessly. Outsourcing all production to low-wage countries is also no longer an option. How do we build resilient societies that are ecologically and socially durable? \nA panel discussion with Myriam Dumortier (bio engineer and senior researcher at INBO)\, Koen Vannmechelen (contemporary conceptual artist)\, Jan Rotmans (transition thinker) and Christine Van Acker (writer). \n12:30 – 14:00 | Meet the animal \nFor centuries we have been intrigued by animals and have used them in our stories. Who does not know Reynard the Fox? Only recently have we learned how small the differences between humans and animals are. What does an understanding relationship with animals with recognition of their own abilities mean? \nA conversation that explores new paths with: Eva Meijer (writer\, philosopher and artist)\, Hans Van Dyck (professor Behavioral Biology)\, Hendrik Schoukens (environmental lawyer)\, Lisa Tostado (Heinrich Böllstiftung\, which recently released the Insect Atlas). \n14:00 – 15:30 | Transition to a fair agro-ecology \nAgricultural soils are eroding\, biodiversity is declining alarmingly. Fortunately\, we see new agro-ecological farmers emerge. Through short-chain they restore contact with consumers while also taking care of the surrounding nature. The challenge is to make these innovative practices the new normal. \nA conversation with Yousra Benfquih (lawyer\, poet and columnist)\, Louis De Jaeger (landscape architect) and others. \n15:30 – 17:00 | Cities full of nature and the barren countryside \nIt is at odds with what we think: the city is full of nature and agricultural areas are increasingly turning into deserts. But there is work to be done everywhere. For example\, green space in the city is unevenly distributed and there is a need for a different vision of open space with reinforced village centers. \nWith Paul Demets (poet)\, Els Vervloesem (transition architect) and Tom Bauler (ecological economist). \n17:00 – 18:00 | Final debate \nThe starting point is the question posed by the French thinker Bruno Latour: Where can we land? How can we “ground ourselves” and take care of our living environment\, while being open to the world? \nWith Warda El-Kaddouri (researcher and journalist)\, Anuna De Wever (climate activist)\, Olivier de Schutter (UN special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights) and Dirk Holemans (coordinator of Oikos – Think tank for socio-ecological change). \n  \nLabiomista\, Genk  \nIn 2019 artist Koen Vanmechelen launched LABIOMISTA\, an evolving work of art situated on the foundations of a former zoo in Genk (BE). \nVanmechelen is one of the most versatile thinkers of these times. He works at the confluence of art\, science\, philosophy and community. LABIOMISTA is the embodiment of his artistic and philosophical vision. It is based on the belief in art as a driver of mutual understanding and as a guide in the search for answers to the major challenges of the 21st century\, the relationship between nature and culture and in particular the development of sustainable communities. \nThe 24-hectare park is a permanent and evolving work of art\, a garden of order and chaos\, an arena of culture and nature. It invites\, challenges and inspires. It is a hotbed for a wealth of new ideas\, creations\, projects and collaborations; and a meeting place for all the species of this world. \nExclusively\, the Ecopolis conversation is hosted in the artist private studio. Seats are limited. With your Ecopolis ticket you also have free access to the park. \n  \nProgramme:  \n10:00 – 19:00 | Labiomista visit (cancelled) \nLABIOMISTA is open from 10:00 to 19:00. Visitors can visit the park prior to or following the talks and should count 2 hours. \n12:30 – 14:00 | Ecopolis Brussels livestream \nMeet the animal \n14:00 – 16:00 | Talks & debates \n\nIntroduction to Ecopolis: Again(st) Nature\nIntroduction to LABIOMISTA\, by Koen Vanmechelen\nAre we necessary? The position of the human animal. Panel discussion with Koen Vanmechelen\, Ignace Schops\, Glenn Deliège and Lara Klaassen\, moderated by Peter Dupont\n\n  \nTranslab K at CC ‘t Schaliken\, Herentals \n13:30 – 15:30 | Softening with an eye for biodiversity \nBuilding on their experiments on ‘softening with an eye for biodiversity’\, VormingPlus invites Stijn Neuteleers (environmental philosopher)\, Tim Vekemans (architect) and Liesl Vanautgaerden (program director for spatial development at the Department of Environment of the Flemish Government). \n15:30 – 18:00 | Ecopolis Brussels livestream \n15:30 – 17:00   Cities full of nature and the barren countryside \n17:00 – 18:00   Final debate \n  \nPracticalities:\nEcopolis goes on!

SUMMARY:Basic Income as Part of the Green Recovery? (Warsaw)
DESCRIPTION:About the Event:\nIn this fifth and last event of our UBI series\, tackling both international and Polish questions and dimensions of the topic\, we discuss whether and how Universal Basic Income has a part to play in plans for a Green Recovery. The event will be taking place in a hybrid format\, with some participants and speakers in person and others joining online. \nContext:\nThe Green European Foundation has been working and researching the topic of UBI for a few years as part of a transnational project involving many countries. This year\, the project is entitled“ CHANGE OF MINDSET. Civil society dialogue around UBI\, social justice and climate impact”. The Polish Green Foundation “Strefa Zieleni” joined the project\, recognising that it was time to start a public debate on this in Poland as well – not only on UBI itself but as part of a broader conversation: what social security system is best adapted to the needs and expectations of Polish society in times of great instability and turmoil? This event series aims to foster that debate. \nSpeakers:\n\nPaweł Szypulski – Greenpeace Polska (TBC)\nAleksander Temkin – “Europe\, a Patient” initiative\nNatalie Benett – former leader of the Green Party of England and Wales\, Member of the House of Lords (online)\nAlviina Alametsä – Finnish MEP\, Greens/EFA (online)\nJulen Bollain – economist\, UBI researcher\, member of the Basque Parliament in Spain (online)\nModeration and comments by Ewa Sufin-Jacquemart and Wojciech Kłosowski.\n\nPracticalities:\nThis event will take place primarily in Polish. There is limited space for in person participants at Galeria BWA\, so please register in advance here. The event starts at 18:00. \nThe event will also be streamed live on Youtube\, please check the Facebook event page for a link.

SUMMARY:Aquarium Inauguration (Porto)
DESCRIPTION:Event Background\nIn the framework of the Idea Challenge\, the Green European Foundation invited young people aged 16 – 24 from Croatia\, Czechia and Portugal to submit their ideas which aim to make their own neighborhood or local community more open\, democratic\, inclusive\, and ultimately European. Three winning ideas from the three countries were selected and are now in the process of implementing their projects. \nAbout the event\nThis project by João – 23 years old Aquatic Science student from Porto\, pulls together technological\, social and environmental dimensions\, as he will build an aquarium integrated with a floating island at the Porto Escola Básica Augusto Gil high school . \nThe installation of the aquarium will involve Marine and Biotechnology Science students and the students of the high school. The aquarium intends to raise awareness about freshwater ecosytems\, which are particularly vulnerable to climate change: many species within these fragmented habitats have limited abilities to disperse as the environment changes;  water temperature and availability are climate-dependent;  many systems are already exposed to numerous anthropogenic stressors. \nThe aquarium will be inaugurated over June 5th & 6th\, on World Environment Day and in the run-up to World Oceans Day. Students will receive presentations on climate change and Portuguese freshwater fish\, presented by João and Dr. Cristina Calheiros.  The students will also have the opportunity to help in the installation of plants in the aquarium and learn more about how it works. \n\nFor updates on the the activity\, follow our Facebook and Instagram accounts.

SUMMARY:(W)E-Democracy - Will Parliament survive the digital era?
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing transnational project Reclaim the Commons which this year has a special focus on digital commons under the title (W)E-Democracy. More specifically\, this year we foster  the understanding of the possibilities that emerge in the digital age for citizens to organise themselves in innovative ways and to generate influence and even co-create policy decisions that affect their lives. \nThe 21st century democracy in Europe is in dire straits. Citizens feel disconnected with politics\, and a growing distrust has led to the lowest participation in European elections ever in 2014. According to the latest Eurobarometer\, a staggering 54% of citizens thinks that their voice doesn’t count in the EU. Democracy seems overdue for a profound upgrade. How can we reverse the erosion? \nOur digitising society forms a fertile breeding ground for citizens to get organized in innovative ways\, and gain more power to influence and even co-create policy decisions that affect their lives. Digital initiatives like online knowledge centres and participation platforms are popping up all over Europe. What is the potential of these technologies to transform and rethink democracy? What are the threats? And how can local governments anticipate to this growing tendency? \n  \n#WEdemocracy\n(W)E-Democracy takes a look from different angles at promising (citizen) initiatives who employ digital tools to strengthen democracy. We invited Lina Dencik from Cardiff University to talk about citizen rights in a digitised society. We then discussed two successful online platforms: CitizenLab\, introduced to us by founder Wietse Van Ransbeeck and DemocracyOS France\, presented by its President Caroline Corbal. Next\, Xabier E. Barandiaran and Arnau Monterde from Decidim Barcelona shared their experiences with open democracy on city level. Last but not least\, Imade Annouri\, Green Member of Flemish Parliament\, and Dóra Björt Guðjónsdóttir\, Chair of the Young Pirates in Iceland\, reflected on the possibilities of e-democracy for political parties. \n  \nProgramme:\n13:00h:  Introduction (Dirk Holemans\, Coordinator of Oikos and Coordinator of the GEF transnational project Reclaim the Commons) \n13:20h: Young Europeans fighting surveillance (Lea Caillere) \n13:40h: Citizen rights in a digital era (Lina Dencik) \n14:25h: – Digital participation: CitizenLab (Wietse Van Ransbeeck)  \n– Digital commons: DemocracyOS (Caroline Corbal) \n15:20h:  break \n15:35h:  E-democratic cities (Arnau Monterde and Xabier E. Barandiaran) \n16:05h:  Digital parties – closing panel (Dóra Björt Guðjónsdóttir and Imade Annouri) \n17:00h:  closing drink \nMore information on the key speakers can be found on the Oikos website. \n  \nLocation & Date:\nTHE VENUE OF THE THINKING DAY HAS BEEN CHANGED! \nThe event will take place at L42\, Rue de la Loi 42\, on Friday\, the 26 May\, from 13h onwards. \n  \nRegistration:\nThe event is free of charge. Please register here. \n  \nNot able to attend the event in Brussels?\nThe event will be livestreamed by our partner foundations Fondation de l’Écologie Politique (Paris\, France)\, Fundacja Strefa Zieleni (Warsaw\, Poland) as well as the Cooperation and Development Network Eastern Europe (Belgrade\, Serbia). \n
