SUMMARY:Climate Conference (Istanbul)
DESCRIPTION:Event Background\nTurkey has been seeing the tangible effects of climate change over the last few years\, with impacts on food security\, the economy\, and other broader social ramifications. \nYet there is no solution-oriented action due to resistance by policy-makers and a lack of public awareness. There is particularly a lack of clarity in the debate regarding the link between urban and local ecological deterioration and climate change\, and the effects of climate change on the local level. There is also an absence of understanding on how political decisions and action at an international level relate to the local level. \nAbout the Event\nHeld in coordination with our partner Yesil Dusunce Dernegi\, this national conference will offer a different perspective on climate change\, connecting society\, movements\, communication and green politics. It aims to build capacities and raise awareness of the effects of climate change\, local actions and green policy alternatives in the field. \nIt will bring together the agenda for the climate and ecology movements on both European and local levels\, and provide networking opportunities. \nIn particular\, the conference will focus on: \n\nOpportunities to identify and compare relationships between mitigation and adaptation policies at national and local levels\, and the obligations and potential they offer.\nDevelop awareness and comprehension of European policy proposals regarding climate change and encourage political debate that includes the Turkism perspective on the issue.\nEstablish solidarity networks between local movements directly affected by environmental disasters and those affected by ill-conceived fossil-fuel projects.\n\nProgramme\nThe working language of the conference will be Turkish. \n10.00-10: 45 | Climate Policies \nModerator: Barış Gençer Baykan / Yeditepe University – Green Thought Association \nOmer Madra / Açık Radyo\nKelsey DePorte / FYEG (European Young Greens) Climate Campaigner \n10: 45-11.00 | Break \n11: 00-11: 45 | Climate Law \nModerator: Serkan Köybaşı / Bahcesehir University – Green Thought Association \nGökşen Şahin / People’s Climate Case\nSerde Atalay / Ecology Collective Association \n11: 45-12.00 | Break \n12: 00-13: 00 | Activism / Communication/ Campaigning \nTeo Commet / FYEG Secretary General\nXR (Extenction Rebellion) International\n13: 00-14: 00 | Lunch \n14: 00-16: 00 | Forum \nXR Turkey (Extinction Rebellion / Rebellion Extinction)\nFFF Turkey (Fridays For Future Turkey)\nPFF Turkey (Parents For Future)\nLocal Movements\nClimate Activists \nParallel Sessions: \n10.00-13.00 | Informatics Education-kidsistanbul \nThis event will last for 3 hours and is suitable for children between the ages of 10-15. \nRegistration\nThis conference is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Economic Impact of Migration (Oxford)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nEurope seems stuck and appears to be paralysed by the latest inward migratory processes. This is affecting democracy itself as people are unable to find a party which expresses their fears and politicians are unable to find solutions and scenarios that they can relate to. As a result\, core values of the European Union and green values are jeopardised whereas populist and right-wing forces are still on a winning streak in large parts of the EU and anti-migration rhetoric has not least also played a role during the EU referendum in the United Kingdom. \nAbout the event\nThe transboundary need for a change of narrative to disseminate the reality of migrants among society and their impact on the society in return is evident. Hence\, the conference\, while building on experiences and findings of GEF’s transnational project of the past two years on migration and asylum policies in the EU\, aims to put progressive political forces back ahead of the game to drive a positive approach to international migration. \nOne aspect will be to showcase\, how the Thames Valley\, Oxford University and other European hubs are a success – not only economically – specifically due to their inward migrations. Moreover\, the event will also look at the growing impact of climate change and how that aspect can be channelled for the green family to offer its unique solutions as a force for positive change. \nThe conference will feature speakers from Europe\, for instance the United Kingdom\, Italy\, Norway\, Malta\, etc. but also experiences from Nigeria and other parts of the world. \nDraft Programme\n10:00 – 11:00 INTRODUCTION TO THE GREEN EUROPEAN FOUNDATION PROJECT “CHANGING THE NARRATIVE OF MIGRATION” \n11:00 – 11:30 COFFEE BREAK \n11:30 – 13:00 CONTEMPORARY CHANGES TO THE LABOUR MARKET \n13:00 – 14:00 LUNCH \n14:00 – 15:00 HI-TECH SOLUTIONS; THE VALUE AND IMPACT OF MIGRATION \n15:00 – 16:00 EXAMPLES OF INWARD MIGRATION AND BEST PRACTICES \n16:00 – 16:30 TEA BREAK \n16:30 – 17:00 CLOSING PANEL AND DISCUSSION:  Migration of the future – Choices and pathways \n\nRegister and purchase your tickets now by following this link and stay tuned for updates by  following us on Facebook or Twitter .
