SUMMARY:Migration & Refugees: A New Narrative for Europe
DESCRIPTION:The workshop addressed the need to develop a new and positive narrative on migration and refugees to create public interest and counter the anti-immigration and xenophobic rhetoric in European countries. The event was held on Friday\, the 2nd of December\, between 19h00 and 20h30 at the 25th Council Meeting of the EGP in Glasgow. It featured an insightful debate with relevant speakers\, listed here: \n\nNoureddine Erradi\, Chairman\, Integration for All\nMaria Giovanna Manieri\, Advisor on Civil Liberties\, Justice and Home Affairs\, Greens-EFA Group in the European Parliament\nOlga Kikou\, Director of Green Institute Greece and GEF Board Member\n\nThe debate will be moderated by Susanne Rieger\, Europe representative\, Foundacio Nous Horitzons & GEF Co-President. \nBACKGROUND: \nIn 2016\, the majority of European citizens see the “migration crisis” as the biggest threat to the EU\, ahead of the threat of terrorism. While the majority of EU citizens are in favor of an EU policy on migration\, just above a third of Europeans say that immigration of people from outside the EU evokes a positive feeling while a majority of citizens have negative views. This development in public opinion goes hand-in-hand with the emergence of right-wing populist movements and parties who propose a narrative around migration based on feelings of fear and uncertainty. \nThroughout 2016\, the Green European Foundation\, together with Fondacio Nous Horitzons (Catalonia)\, Green Foundation Greece\, EQUO (Spain)\, Green Economics Institute (UK) and Institute for Political Ecology (Croatia) developed a project to highlight the local context as a space in which the European and national realities intersect in their impact on the well-being of refugees and asylum seekers. As a result of this project\, the need to develop a new narrative on migration was identified as a means to counter the current negative sentiments on the topic. \n

SUMMARY:Launch of the new edition of the Green European Journal
DESCRIPTION:A panel will discuss the diverse understandings of the commons and examine their transformative potential. The debate will feature relevant speakers\, such as MEP Molly Scott Cato\, lawyer and social geographer Daniela Festa\, founder of the Peer-to-Peer Foundation Michel Bauwens\, and Professor of Sociology Christian Laval. \nAn investigation into the commons reveals the wide-ranging spectrum of definitions and applications of this concept that exist across Europe. From urban public spaces to natural ecosystems and the virtual world – the concept of the commons seems to be giving rise to new forms of organisation\, collaboration\, and management of resources. Yet from the numerous local initiatives\, social movements and governance models associated with this term – is it possible to identify the outline of a commons-based approach that could form the basis of a broad cross-societal response to the failures of the current system? \nJoin us for a discussion with MEP and economist Molly Scott Cato\,  founder of the Peer-to-Peer Foundation Michel Bauwens\, lawyer and social geographer Daniela Festa\, and expert on the far-reaching social impacts of neoliberalism Christian Laval. The debate will be moderated by Oikos coordinator and author Dirk Holemans. The event is organised by the Green European Foundation with the support of Oikos think tank and Etopia. \n  \nPlease register for the event\, by clicking here\, join the facebook group here. \nInformation about the speakers: \n– Molly Scott Cato is the first Green MEP for the South West of England and Gibraltar\, elected in May 2014.

SUMMARY:ECOPRO Seminar in Zagreb
DESCRIPTION:This event is a part of our transnational project ECOPRO (“Ecological Production in a Post-Growth Society”)\, which this year has a particular focus on the sustainable work. The seminar was entitled “Future of Work in Ecological Transition”\, as it provided an analysis of impacts of the ecological transition on work\, working conditions and generally transformation of labour that are generated by environmental challenges. \nTransition of both economy and industry to (more) ecological\, just and sustainable modes of production is already – with more or less success – taking place globally and in Europe. In some cases it takes forms of technological revolution\, in other it relates to slower transformatory processes that deserve adaptation of societies\, citizens\, workers. As this change generates irreversible impacts on work conditions\, quality of work\, job security\, time\, education system it is also opportunity for new ecology of work that will improve quality of life\, social equity and work conditions. Taking into account new impetus for industrial policy in Croatia\, this seminar will aim to present different views on conditions for creating sustainable work in Croatia. \nFurthermore\, this event had a strong focus on exploring directions in which work conditions can be improved throughout ecological and just transition; ecologists\, trade unionists\, politicians and experts from different will share their insights and experiences about ways in which work conditions\, quality of work and social criteria can be improved alongside with fundamental changes in the systems of production and consumption. \nPROGRAMME: \n11h30 – 13h00 Introduction \n\nVedran Horvat\, Institute for Political Ecology\, Zagreb\nBeate Littig\, Institute for Human Sciences\, Vienna\nToni Vidan\, European Economic and Social Committee\, Brussels/Green Action/FoE Croatia\, Zagreb\nAna Maria Boromisa\, Institute for Development and International Relations\, Zagreb\nBojana Percan\, Croatian Union of Independent Trade Unions\, Croatia\n\n13h00 – 14h00 Lunch break \n14h00 – 16h00 Debate \n\nBranko Ančić\, Institute for Social Research\, Zagreb\nKarolina Leaković\,  International Secretary\, Socialdemocratic party of Croatia\nSiniša Vinković\, European Trade Union Confederation\n\nThis event was open to public and free of charge.

SUMMARY:Urban Commons - Commoning the City
DESCRIPTION:Commons as a concept and practice entered into mainstream after Elinor Ostrom received in 2009 Nobel Award in Economics for empirically proving that communities can sustainably manage natural resources without direct influence of the state and the market. Concept of commons was extended for also human-made resources and even immaterial resources and for different contexts including the urban. More radical and critical approaches of commons emerged especially in the context of various urban social movements fighting against privatisation\, commodification and commercialisation of cities. Practices of self-governance and community governance of urban resources were introduced or reintroduced in cities all around Europe. In Athens there is a network of solidarity commoning practices providing food\, housing and even health service to people who are left behind after years of austerity politics. In Bologna the local government even adopted regulation so communities can engage in collaboration to produce and regenerate urban commons. In Barcelona citizen platform called “Barcelona in Common” won the local elections and is trying to establish framework for urban commons governance in different sectors. \nThis seminar presented examples of urban commoning in cities of Madrid\, Berlin\, Maribor\, Belgrade and Zagreb. It provided forum for exchange on various inspirational urban commons practices as well as confrontational tactics against the enclosure of the urban commons and privatisation of the urban public goods. Seminar aimed to tackle the debate among participants on how can urban commons and self-governance models be enhanced\, supported and protected in cities of the region. \nPROGRAMME:  \n\n10h00 – 10h30 Introduction to theory of the commons – Tomislav Tomašević (Institute for Political Ecology)\n10h30 – 11h30 Urban commons practices in Madrid and Berlin – Lucia Lois (El Patio Maravillas) and Marco Clausen (Nachbar¬schafts¬akademie)\n11h30 – 12h00 Discussion\n12:h0 – 12h45 Lunch \n12h45 – 13h45 Commoning the city in Belgrade and Maribor – Iva Ćukić (Ministarstvo prostora) and Matic Primc (Iniciativa mestni zbor)\n13h45 – 15h30 – Discussion\n15h30 – 16h00 – Break\n16h00 – 17h30 – How to enhance the urban commons in local context? (open roundtable) – Iva Marčetić\, Mislav Žitko\, Alma Midžić\, Teodor Celakoski\, Emina Višnić\, Enes Ćerimagić\, Dušica Radojčić\, Nikola Zdunić\, Cvjeta Bišćević\, Svibor Jančić\n\nThis event is a part of our transnational project “Reclaim the Commons”\, which revives the debate around the commons as a fundamental part of the Green political ideology across Europe. \nThis event was open to public and free of charge.

SUMMARY:"Degrowth in the Parliaments" Panel Debate in Budapest (VIDEO Available)
DESCRIPTION:THEME:   \nCould we say that degrowth has entered parliamentary politics? Notably several party figures\, especially in Europe\, have raised the issue of degrowth in their parties and in the parliaments. \nFor this session\, we invited outstanding politicians from various European countries and political parties that\, in different ways\, have engaged with degrowth. First\, we asked them to share with the degrowth community the experiences they have had while attempting to promote degrowth within their parties and/or parliaments looking specifically at the opportunities and challenges they are facing.  Second\, we wanted to know what opportunities they see for the future and whether degrowth could gain momentum in public debates\, electoral campaigns and in the parliaments. Third\, we were eager to understand whether and how the degrowth community\, which includes grassroots activists\, practitioners and researchers\, could eventually support such processes from outside the parliaments. \nThe focus was on the national and European levels. On the one hand\, these levels are potentially very relevant to implement degrowth ideas in a systematic way\, but –on the other hand- they are also places were decision-making processes are complex\, the balance of powers not favorable\, and mainstream ideology very strong. \nSPEAKERS: \n\nPhilippe Lamberts\, Member of the European Parliament and Co-Spokeperson of the Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament\, member of Ecolo (Belgium);\nSabine Leidig\, former director of Attac Germany\, and Member of the Bundestag for Die Linke (Germany);\nFlorent Marcellesi\, Spokesperson of EQUO in the European Parliament (Spain);\nRebeka Szabó\, Vice-Mayor of the 14th district of Budapest – Zugló.\n\nMODERATORS: \n\nAurélie Maréchal\, Director of the Green European Foundation;\nFederico Demaria\, researcher at Research & Degrowth\, and ICTA UAB.\n\nVENUE: Corvinus University auditorium\, Budapest \nTIME: Friday\, the 2nd of September 2016\, 16h30 – 18h30 \nVIDEO: Watch this relevant debate in English or Hungarian.

DESCRIPTION:This event was a part of our ECOPRO project\, which this year has a special focus on work and its role in the post-growth society. \nTheme: \nThe world has reached the “Limits to Growth” – we are in the status of overshoot\, overuse\, overconsumption\, overpopulation. Our event on the 1st of September will be held 3 weeks after the Overshoot Day 2016 (the 8th of August)\, we will have used as much from nature as our planet can renew in the whole year. We need a new vision of a post-growth economy that fits again within the planetary boundaries while satisfying real societal needs\, guaranteeing well-being and a future for all. \nAmong many others\, we need to rethink our concept of WORK. Can we provide real\, meaningful\, added-value-generating jobs for all active-age men and women of the over 7 billion inhabitants of the Earth? If yes\, how? If not\, how shall we redefine and widen the meaning of WORK? \nWork is much more than spending time at a job – it includes running a household\, caring for children and elderly\, helping in the community and other forms of voluntary and political work. To grasp the diversity of work\, a green and feminist understanding of work\, questioning the gender and international division of labour\, is required. \nDoes work equal money? Equal work\, equal pay? Working for a living\, or a better life? What is the future of the work – and what is the work of the future? \nSpeakers: \nThis debate featured Bernadett Szél (Co-chair of Lehet Más a Politika\, Hungary)\, Beate Littig (Researcher at Institute for Advanced Studies\, University of Vienna\, Austria)\, Anne Snick (KU Leuven\, Belgium)\, Dirk Holemans (Coordinator and Editor at tink tank Oikos\, Belgium) and Jonathan Essex (Co-founder of the Green House think tank\, UK). \nVenue: Corvinus University of Budapest – Fôvám tér 8\, Budapest\, Hungary\, 1093 \nTime: 1st of September\, 16h00 – 19h00 \nVIDEO: Watch this debate in English or Hungarian.

SUMMARY:Green Summer Gathering: Edition 2016 in Belgium
DESCRIPTION:This year’s edition of Les Rencontres Ecologiques d’Eté (Green Summer Gathering) featured many insightful workshops\, debates and lectures. Information about the programme and registration is available at Etopia’s website. During this occasion\, the Green European Foundation contributed with two special debates about the present and future of the European Union. \nThe first debate was held on Saturday\, the 27th of August\, from 09h30 to 10h45. This roundtable addressed the “why EU” question: Why the EU? Is the EU dream over? Why should we keep working hard on it? Does it represent the best way to insure progress in Europe? Special inputs on these matters were provided by professor Tanguy de Wilde (University of Louvain). \nOur second debate took place right after – between 10h45 and 12h00\, and focused more on “how EU” question in relation to this year’s challenges\, such as the situation in Greece\, issues with refugee policies and Brexit. How do we re-dynamise the EU project and make it “popular” again? How to tackle and approach this? Should the priority be institutional (more democracy\, more transparency)? Should it be economical? Should we create a different approach to some challenges\, such as the refugee policies? And how to contain the influence of the lobbies in all this? The list of speakers included: \n\nPhilippe Pochet (European Trade Union Institute);\nJean Quatremer (Correspondant at Libe à Bxl);\nJean De munck (Professor of Sociology at UCL);\nVivien Pertusot (Head of IFRI);\nPhilippe Lamberts (Co-President of the Greens/EFA).\n\nBoth debates were held with simultaneous translation in French and English. More information about them can be found on this webpage.

SUMMARY:"Summer Days" Lorient\, France

It featured Marie Toussaint (BE delegate for Europe)\, Jens Althoff (Heinrich Böll Stiftung); François Gemenne (University of Liège); Dorothée Schmid (IFRI) and Laurent Standaert (Green European Journal). \nAs an additional reading for this occasion\, we recommended the 12th edition of the Green European Journal: Checkpoint Europe – The Return of Borders. \nSecondly\, our director Aurélie Maréchal participated as a speaker in a workshop on “Political ecology\, 20 years from now”\, which took place as well on Thursday\, the 25th of August from 14h00 to 15h30. During this workshop\, we looked at what greens should do now\, as we are confronted with catastrophic scenarios regarding the future of our democracies\, along with the political\, ecological\, social and economic crises.  We also discussed how the new narrative to be developed and the challenges we should anticipate to face 20 years from now. The moderator was Alain Coulombel (member of the Executive Bureau of the French Green party) and the other speakers included Yves Cochet (president of Momentum Institute) and Alice Canabate (sociologist).

SUMMARY:Green Academy "TIPPING POINTS" in Croatia
DESCRIPTION:Under the title ”Tipping points”\, the fifth edition of this summer university provided 6 days of intensive programme for a very diverse group of 150 participants from more than 20 countries\, including Latin America and U.S. For the first time City of Komiza was hosting the Green Academy\, which programme was conducted in public spaces. \nProgramme was organised in three working modules (Commons\, Degrowth and Climate Justice) and was focused on exchange of theoretical  insights and practical experiences of scholars\, practitioners\, activists and experts.  Intense exchange has taken place between European scholars and their Latin American counterparts which have demonstrated some of the most interesting lessons from previous decade.  Among many relevant speakers\, guests of the Green Academy were Boris Buden\, Hilary Wainright\, Daniel Chavez\, Joan Martinez Alier\, Jagoda Munić\, Pablo Solon\, Giacommo D’Allisa\, Barb Jacobson\, Edgardo Lander\, Kira Vinke\, Branon Andersen and Srećko Horvat. Apart from modules\, participants were also involved in plenary debates where political implications of current political situations were broadly discussed. \nParticipants were able to take part in many cutting edge discussions which are currently relevant at European level and have a first hand experience and exchange with contributors. As a working framework was also relevant for broadening epistemic community gravitating to political ecology at European level and exchange platform between different organisations and groups. It has proven to be a very safe environment to articulate demands for more interesectionality on the Left and for feminisation of politics while at the same time offering visions that comply with ideas of internationalism\, sufficiency and solidarity. \nWorking languages of the academy were Croatian and English. \nThe final programme is available here. \nMORE INFO: \nMore information about this event available at IPE website and Facebook.

SUMMARY:"Balkan Watchdogs: Cross border Environmental Reporting" Workshop in Bulgaria
DESCRIPTION:The workshop’s aim was to support young and active journalists from Bulgaria\, Serbia and Macedonia\, who have an interest in the practice of watchdog journalism\, telling stories of environmental dangers and exploring new sustainable solutions offered by the Green economy. This event is a part of the Journalists and Policy Makers Boost Green Economy project\, organised by the Green European Foundation\, with the support of the BlueLink Foundation (Bulgaria)\, the Association for Sustainable Social-Economic Development Sunrise (Macedonia) and Drugi Novi Centar Association (Serbia). \nThe training represented a great opportunity for the young journalists and professionals with an interest in the practice of watchdog journalism in the public interest. It provided the participants with important insights in the cross-border environmental issues in the Balkans and the Green policies as the alternative solutions. This experience served as a platform for knowledge exchange and a chance to enhance the professional skills of the participants. The training was implemented in English. \nThe workshop was facilitated by: Dr. Pavel Antonov\, Chief Editor at the Evromegdan.bg virtual newsroom of the BlueLink foundation; Paul Brown\, Editor\, Climate News Network; Zlatko Simonovski\, researcher and journalist and Beatrice White\, Deputy Editor at Green European Journal. \n  \nPurpose of the Workshop \nWith rule of law and democratic mechanisms failing to protect nature and public interest\, ethical professional watchdog journalism is essential for raising awareness and promoting Green policy solutions in South Eastern European societies. Success stories of environmental and social change\, environmental justice and Green policies advanced by new politicians\, policy-makers and activists fail to effectively reach – and inspire – the general public. \nTherefore\, the workshop aimed to: \n\nBuild on the professional skills and integrity of young and active journalists;\nEngage them creatively and professionally in a virtual newsroom to facilitate authoritative and well-written creative feature articles of environmental change;\nGuide them while they publish and popularise journalistic articles (in text and image) in English and their native languages;\nAllow new policy-makers\, Green politicians\, academic and civil society experts to foster journalists’ understanding of available success cases\, technological and policy solutions.
