SUMMARY:Basic Income as a Tool Towards the Ecological Transition (Córdoba)
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nIn a society threatened by different and converging environmental and social crises\, Universal Basic Income has more and more support as an instrument to mitigate the great social inequalities that the economic system\, based on the infinite economic growth\, cannot solve. \nOn the contrary\, neoliberal capitalism is not only opening a widening gap between rich and poor countries\, but it is accentuating it within the countries themselves\, creating large pockets of poverty. Much has been written about UBI in relation to work\, freedom\, inequality\, gender\, but the ecological dimension has hardly been taken into account. For this reason we want to focus on the UBI-socio-environmental sustainability relationship. \nWould the implementation of a basic income have positive effects on the protection of the Planet? What would be its relationship with economic growth / degrowth? How would it affect consumption patterns? How should it be financed so that it can be an effective instrument for ecological transition? In this session we will try to answer these and many other questions and contribute to the debate on this forgotten but necessary and urgent aspect of Basic Income. \nThis event is part of the Basic Income – European Public Debate project and will take place at the Univerde: Capitalism in Front of the Mirror – the Socio-Environmental Response to a Predatory System\, \nSpeakers\n– Lucía Baratech – economist specialized in Ecological and Social Economics from the Vienna University of Economics. Member of the Basic Income Network. Consultant for Public Administration \n– Jorge Pinto – research associate at the Centre for Ethics\, Politics and Society University of Minho\, Portugal and co-founder of the Portuguese party LIVRE \n– Julen Bollain – economist and researcher\, member of the Basic Income Network and of the BIEN (Basic Income Earth Network). Member of the Basque Parliament by Elkarrekin Podemos \n\n

SUMMARY:Making Basic Income a European Reality (Tampere)
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nThe long lived dream of a basic income has gained relevance in Europe in the last few years. Changing working life and an uncertain economy has sparked the need for social security reforms in many countries. The Finnish basic income study has received world wide coverage. The goals have long been established but how do countries move forward to make it actually happen? Is a European BI possible? Should we approach BI incrementally? \nIn this seminar\, taking place at the 30th European Green Party Council\, guest speakers will discuss the status of basic income developments in different countries and outline paths to make the utopia a reality. Both national and Europe-wide points of view will be discussed. The seminar is a chance to spread ideas among the participants and help implement change across Europe. \nSpeakers\nVia video: Jamie Cooke\, The RSA Scotland \nPathways to a Basic Income in Scotland and the UK \nJane Millar\, University of Bath\, UK\nUniversal Credit: designing and implementing the UK’s new working-age benefit and how this differs from Basic Income \nKim Evangelista\, Belgian Green party (Ecolo)\nA Basic Income for the young: Inventing tomorrow’s solidarities \nLukas Korpelainen\, Visio – Finnish Green Think Tank\nA hybrid model for basic social security and the steps for the next 10 years in Finland \n  \nSpeaker Biographies\nJane Millar OBE\, FBA\, FAcSS is Professor of Social Policy in the Institute for Policy Research at the University of Bath\, UK.

SUMMARY:Basic Income & Social Rights: Local and European Perspectives (Bologna)
DESCRIPTION:Event Background\nThis event is part of the Green European Foundation transnational project Basic Income – European Public Debate. \nBasic income has emerged in recent years as a potential tool to reverse the current issues facing society\, such as lack of affordable housing and access to education and healthcare\, income inequality and disparity between generations. \nAs basic income gradually permeates into mainstream debates and factors like technological advancements change our understanding of work\, it is important to explore how such a scheme could be implemented\, and the impact it would have on social rights at the local and European level. \nAbout the Event\nThis workshop will be held as a side event of the Federation of Young European Greens (FYEG) four day educational event on social rights\, and organised with the support of FYEG. \nIt will bring together young people locally and from across Europe\, with international participants including those from FYEG member organisations\, social movements\, and trade unions. \nParticipants will learn via roundtable discussions about basic income\, existing pilot projects and the connection with social rights. They will identify the pressing requirements to make such a scheme a reality. \nProgramme\nThe workshop will be divided into three parts\, with breaks in between: \n\nThe presentation of the GEF publication European Green Perspectives on Basic Income will provide an introduction to the basic income concept and describe successes and limitations of past pilot projects\, and discuss the results of research into the impact of basic income schemes on access to housing\, education\, healthcare and employment.\nTwo fishbowl-style dialogues will serve as a basis to discuss the challenges and solutions to basic income implementation. This part will touch upon the need for certain infrastructure to be in place and the challenges associated with competing views of basic income.\nFinally\, roundtable discussions will delve deeper into the realisation of basic income on the local and European level\, with a focus on connecting the two levels together and how basic income could strengthen social rights at these levels.\n\nSpeakers\n\nNatalie Bennett\, GEF Board of Directors\nAlex Foti\, author of the General Theory of the Precariat\n\nRegistration\nThe workshop will be free and open to everyone but subject to registration. You can register by filling in this form. Deadline for registration is Sunday\, 21 April 2019\, midnight CET. \nLanguage\nThe event will be held in English but whispered translation from English into Italian can be provided on the spot. \n\nFor further updates\, check out the Facebook event.
