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.

SUMMARY:Green Salon: A Green Vision on Future Scenarios for European Defence
DESCRIPTION:The project aims at creating a sheltered space for Green-minded politicians and experts to critically explore political issues and build sharp answers to today’s challenges. \nA Green Vision on Future Scenarios for European Defence\nThe first Green Salon – A Green vision on future scenarios for European defence – took place in Brussels on 18 October 2017. It was an invitation-only event that addressed Greens from the European and national level as well as independent experts and thinkers from across Europe to feed-into the debate with their expertise and assist Greens in discussion and fine-tuning their ideas and positions. \nThe first Green Salon addressed the topic of the future of European defence\, which has re-emerged on the European agenda\, raising questions as to its direction\, ambitions and goals that urgently need to be addressed. \nFormat\nThe opening reflections of the two main contributors\, Nicoletta Pirozzi\, Istituto Affari Internationali\, and Sven Biscop\, Egmont Institute\, served as a spring board for the debate. After their input\, an open discussion between all participants under Chatham house rules formed the core of the event and was moderated by Kristine Berzina\, German Marshall Fund of the United States. \nThe two main contributors’ role was to launch the debate by ‘feeding’ the audience with information and provocative food for thought on the current state of play and debates around European defence\, thereby enabling participants to engage into discussion. \nFollowing the event\, two videos were produced\, focusing on: \n\nThe explanation of the Green Salon concept:\n\n \n\nA summary of the debate on the future of European Defence Policy\, featuring 3 speakers (Nicoletta Pirozzi\, Kristine Berzina and MEP Bodil Valero):\n\n \n

SUMMARY:"Digital Cooperative Platforms" in Brussels
DESCRIPTION:Context\nThe commons are driven by citizens’ initiatives\, including an increasing amount of digital opportunities as well as new technologies which have the power to transform democracy. This topic will be addressed in the upcoming workshop in Brussels hosted together with Etopia. The event is a part of our ongoing project Reclaim the Commons which aims to explore the transformative power of the commons\, whilst involving the Greens and a wider audience around this topic. \nWorkshop in Brussels\nThis event will have a special focus on the role of digital platforms in the context of commons and their impact on the economy. Digital platforms are affecting the relationship between suppliers and customers\, as well as forcing certain sectors to reposition themselves or even to disappear. Competition rules also become more harsh and pose many social problems\, with the examples of Uber and AirBnB. Faced with these pressures\, we observe new dynamics developing around the models of cooperative platforms. The contribution of the commons can represent a new element energising these structures\, making them more flexible and more resilient. What are the models emerging in this way? And how do we organise these platforms? \nSuch relevant questions will be discussed by the following speakers: \n\nStéphane Boulanger from Febecoop (Brussels)\nJean-Philippe Lens  from Topino (Gembloux)\nAlexandre Ségura & Kevin Poperl from Coopcycle (Paris)\n\nTime & Venue\nThe workshop will be hosted on Thursday\, 12 October 2017\, from 11h00 to 13h00 in the premises of Etopia in Brussels (Place des Barricades 1\, 4th floor). \nRegistration\nPlease sign up by sending an email to jonathan.piron@etopia.be.

SUMMARY:ECOPOLIS 2017: Digital Together - For a Just Society
DESCRIPTION:The main theme of Ecopolis 2017 is the impact of the digital era on relationships between people\, between people and organisations as well as between people and politics. In spite of the insecurity of the modern world\, the rapid speed of advancing technologies will not slow down or go away. On the contrary\, our reliance on these technologies will only increase in our daily lives. Therefore\, it will be crucial to empower people to work together\, share ideas\, and connect with politicians in new ways. \nWhat is Ecopolis?\nEcopolis is a full day event incorporating several key note speeches\, high-level panel discussions and round table workshops\, which will converge around the possibilities of digital technologies to unite people in different ways. The panels\, among others\, will for instance be entitled ‘Tools for democracy’\, and ‘Individual autonomy and digital commons’. A core question will be how we can build political communities in the digital era and what policies can be developed on the EU level to facilitate this goal? \nThe aim of Ecopolis is to set up a fruitful dialogue between different sectors of society on the socio-ecological challenges\, to provide a platform for exchange of innovative ideas and perspectives. The Green European Foundation will contribute to the European dimension of this event and interpretation in English\, French\, and Dutch will guarantee broad accessibility to the event. \nProgramme\nThe full programme of Ecopolis 2017 can be found here. \nSpeakers\nSpeakers will be Yochai Benkler (Harvard University Professor and co-director Berkman Center for Internet & Society)\, Ana Naomi de Sousa (Filmmaker and journalist)\, Kate Raworth (Economist and author)\, Aral Balkan (European Cyborg Rights Activist and designer and developer )\, Jeroen Olyslaegers (Novelist and playwright)\, and many more. See the full list here. \nRegistration: Tickets can be purchased here.\nDate: 8 October 2017\nVenue: Kaaitheater\, Brussels\nTime: 11-19h

SUMMARY:Fundraising Training: Projects on Migration\, Refugees & Asylum
DESCRIPTION:In 2016\, GEF and Greens-EFA collaborated on the ‘Guide to EU Funding on Migration and Asylum’\, a publication available in 16 languages\, which showcases EU funds available to local activists and organisations across Europe. In 2017\, the need was identified to organise a training which allows organisations working on these topics to exchange best practices\, at the same time with reinforcing their fundraising capacities. \nTraining in Athens\nThis training is targeting grassroots organisations all over Europe who are working on topics around migration\, refugees or asylum seekers\, and who oftentimes lack the capacities to obtain the necessary funding for their important work. With this opportunity we want to empower the participating organisations to apply for EU funds\, namely the Asylum\, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF)\, or determine alternative funding possibilities and exchange their experiences and best practices. We will share practical experience on innovative fundraising techniques available to organisations with reduced means\, such as crowdfunding\, experiential fundraising\, etc. \nWe also want to enable the participants to network and shape future project ideas together. Last but not least\, we aim to enable exchange with policy-makers as well as with refugees and asylum seekers themselves. \nVenue\, timing and duration\nThe training will last 3 full days\, starting on Thursday\, 28 September 2017\, in the afternoon and ending on Sunday\, 1 October 2017\, in the afternoon. The training will be organised in Athens\, Greece. \nApplications for participation in this event are closed. For more information\, please contact the Project Coordinator\, Carlotta.Weber@gef.eu.

SUMMARY:Univerde IX Edition in Spain
DESCRIPTION:Context\nThe economic crisis and the increasing number of applications for asylum\, that often remain unacknowledged\, as well as the perceived lack of protection and the fear of cultural identity loss are favouring the rise of populist\, nationalist and xenophobic movements. Those movements are generating a growing anti-European sentiment and are testing our democratic values as well as the very raison d’être of the European Union. \nBesides\, there has been a transfer of decision-making powers from the states to supranational institutions which has resulted in the loss of sovereignty of the nation state as such. This oftentimes is also perceived as a loss of power of the citizens who see their participation in the decision-making process severely diminished\, which has generated a sense of disaffection towards the EU institutions. \nUniverde IX\nThis year’s edition of Univerde therefore aims to increase knowledge and foster the debate about the role of the European Union in the global context\, from a Green point of view. This event will provide a platform to discuss possible Green solutions to the deterioration of democratic processes and the disenchantment with politics of large groups within the European societies. \nSpeakers from all over Europe will discuss on a variety of European issues\, while integrating a Spanish perspective\, in different sessions with more than 300 participants. \nProgramme\nDAY 1 (8 September) \n\nParallel workshops\nOpening ceremony \nConference about “Justice and Democracy in post-Brexit EU”\nPlenary session about “Democracy\, post-truth and populism – challenges to the EU”\n\nDAY 2 (9 September) \n\nParallel workshops\nPlenary session about “Human Mobility and Borders”\nConference about “Ecofeminist contributions to the defense of land and people”\nPlenary session about “Environment and Global Markets”\n\nPlease download the full programme here or find more information on the webpage of Univerde. \nRegistration: Please sign up for the event by sending an email to sconsuegra@fundacionequo.es \nDate: 8-9 September 2017 \nVenue: Logroño (La Rioja)\, Spain \n
