SUMMARY:Transforming the society from the City of the Commons (Vitoria-Gasteiz)
DESCRIPTION:Context: European cities as the key element of transnational governance\nMore and more cities across Europe and worldwide are organising themselves through initiatives such as Eurocities\, Fearless Cities\, Fabcities and many more\, to work together in areas such as climate policy\, renewable energy or urban economy. \nEspecially cities with progressive governments are spearheading this development and are becoming the key factor of transnational governance.  Oftentimes the respective initiatives start from the bottom up and there must then be a fertile ground provided by local administrations so they can flourish. Those new types of relationships between the public sphere and the commons can become the key drivers within a transformative city model that will ultimately help us achieve more just and ecological societies. \nAbout the event\nThis conference aims to serve as a collective reflection on the urban governance of cities and the limits and functions of the cooperation between administration and an active citizenry across Europe. Experts from Italy\, Belgium and Spain will share their experiences and best practices that are implemented in other cities. It will be organised in conjunction with a conference of the New Economic and Social Innovation Forum (NESI)\, that will be held the following day\, on 9 May\, at the same venue. \nDraft Programme\n17:30 – 17:40 OPENING Óscar Fernández\, Member of EQUO and Councillor of Vitoria-Gasteiz \n17:40 – 18:30 KEYNOTE “OSTROM IN THE CITY: PRINCIPLES AND DESIGN PRACTICES FOR URBAN COMMONS” Christian Iaione\, Associate professor of public law at Guglielmo Marconi University of Rome\, visiting professor of governance of the commons at LUISS Guido Carli where he directs LabGov. \n18:30 – 20:45 ROUNDTABLES: THE NEW EUROPEAN CITIES OF COOPERATION BETWEEN THE PUBLIC AND THE COMMON SPHERE \n1.

SUMMARY:Urban Steps for Resilient Future (Istanbul)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nThis training for trainers includes several stages aiming at young  and motivated people who are eager to improve Eastern European cities through alternative ways of urbanisation\, as well as in mastering their skills in advocacy and project management. \nThe objective is to empower them to shape and improve their urban communities\, and to ultimately create more sustainable green cities based on the principles of inclusion and democracy. \nFirst step: Online Course “Urban Steps for a Resilient Future \nPrior to their attendance of the training\, the course introduces the training participants to different concepts concerning public spaces and urban commons\, explores various examples of urban activism as well as grassroots and entrepreneurial initiatives\, illustrates urban problems and propose good practices. The course Urban Steps for a Resilient Future shows ways to turn ideas into concrete action and how urban activism can serve as a connection point for collaboration between different stakeholders on a local level in reaching common solutions.   \nSecond step: Face-to-face training \nDuring an intensive one-week face-to-face training\, the participants consolidate the knowledge gained while going through the online course\, they receive insights from external speakers and receive in-depth and hands-on training on a variety of topics. Among those are a session on “City and Economy” by Dirk Holemans (Director of the Flemish Green Think Tank Oikos\, GEF Board member and city councillor in Gent\, Belgium)\, an introduction to useful tools of project management by Vesna Jusup (European Green Party)\, as well as a hands-on training on effective communication by Pinar Ilkiz  (Co-Founder and Communications Director at Pikan Ajans\, an NGO social media consultancy). \nThird step: Fortify \nParticipants of the Training for Trainers will have an opportunity to implement one of four Regional Trainings that they designed and planned themselves. These activities are targeting young people from the regions respectively. Young people will both be able to practice their trainer and project management skills as well as to map decision-makers and existing urban initiatives in their local communities/regions and exchange experiences and practices among themselves. At the end of this phase\, every group from each country will have a completed action plan. \n\nAbout the event\nThe international activity will take place from 24-29 April near Istanbul\, Turkey\, in the framework of this year’s transnational project “Creating Socio-Ecological Societies through Urban Commons Transitions”. Both urban activists with experience and people who are new to this topic but keen to develop an expertise in this field were invited to answer the call for participants. \nThe training is going to enable young people to analyse their cities (think global) as well as equip them with capabilities to conduct local activities on the spot with the goal to improve their communities (act local)\, and will include\, among others\, sessions on “City and Inclusion”\, “City and Environment”\, Manifesto Writing\, and more. \nAll the materials produced during the project: Manifesto\, Regional Action plans\, impressions\, recommendations and other materials will be summed up into a publication that will be translated into four different languages\, so stay tuned for the follow up! \n

SUMMARY:Who Will Deliver(oo) the New Economy? - Technological disruption and new forms of regulation (Brussels)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nCompanies presenting themselves as mere digital platforms\, such as Uber\, Airbnb\, Deliveroo\, etc.\, are changing our economy in a rapid pace. These techno-economic disrupters not only change the way we produce or deliver services\, but also lead to radical changes in the labour market\, the availability and the organization of work. They question the existing regime of our national welfare states with a social security system build on full employment in stable and localized jobs. \nThe crucial question is how we will be able to re-embedded these new companies that tend to ignore legislation and deny the European social contract. This is more than an economic issue: more flexible and precarious jobs feed the growing insecurity in our society\, which is a feeding ground for populists and national authoritarianism. So we need progressive answers that embrace the possibilities of digital platforms while at the same time empowering workers and their freedom and building new systems of social security. \nProgramme\n13:00-13:10 Opening words (Aurélie Maréchal\, Director Green European Foundation) \n13:10-13:35 Keynote – The Need for a Green Transformation.

The project is implemented jointly by the Green European Foundation\, BlueLink Foundation (Bulgaria)\, Networked (Serbia) and the Sunrise Association for Sustainable Social and Economic Development (Macedonia). \nConference:\nThe topic of the event is closely related to one of the major priorities of the Bulgarian presidency of the EU\, which starts on 1 January 2018\, as defined by the so-called EU presidency trio – Bulgaria (Jan-Jun 2018)\, Estonia and Austria\, during the meeting of the Council of the EU ministers of the environment which took place on 13 and 14 July\, 2017 in Talin. The priority refers to eco-innovations as an engine for the transition to circular economy and stimulating green investments in energy transformation and clean technologies\, in order to spur the overall competitiveness and achievement of shared prosperity across the EU. \nA comparative study focusing on European climate\, renewable energy and Green economy policy landscapes took place between April and September 2017 in Bulgaria\, Macedonia and Serbia. The most important conclusions from the study will be presented and discussed at the conference\, as well as in 3 national research publications\, Green political handbook and journalistic materials published on regional electronic media – BlueLink. \nProgramme:\nPlease download the detailed programme of the conference here. \nRegistration:\nEnquiries regarding participation and logistics are expected by 06 November 2017\, to the attention of Mrs. Eva Stefanova\, EU Projects assistant\, at the following email address: eva@bluelink.net.

SUMMARY:Social Security & Basic Income (Madrid)
DESCRIPTION:This event is a part of the ongoing transnational project “Living with Dignity in a Digitalised Working World – Basic Income for all EU Citizens?”\, which aspires to contribute to the debate on basic income and aims to further explore social and fair solutions to increasing inequality within the European societies. In the framework of this transnational project\, the workshop in Madrid will provide insights into the relationship between social security and basic income in Spain as a case study\, and it will serve as an inspiration for discussions about basic income in other EU countries. \nWorkshop in Madrid\nThe workshop will go further into the financing of the social action system in Spain. We will investigate the budget of the social action system and who its actors are. It is said that basic income will end poverty and that it will be possible to start it up by transferring the expenses generated by the bureaucracy of social action\, but for a transition in which the basic income is an instrument of transformation\, it is necessary to know which is the starting point. Where are the resources that could be redirected to move towards the basic income? What are they currently financing? What tensions and pressures would have to be faced in the construction of this transition? Such questions will be addressed by prominent speakers\, such as Mar Salvador (Forum of Social Services of Madrid) and Carlos Cruzado (GESTHA)\, tbc. \nDate and Place\nThe workshop will be hosted at the office of Fundación EQUO – C/ Martín de Vargas\, 7 – 28005 Madrid\, on Saturday\, 18 November 2017 from 12h15 to 14h30. \nRegistration\nThe event is open to the public and free of charge.
