Waves of Democracy 2015

Waves of DemocracyThe Summer Academy Waves of Democracy 2015 – will be held in Soenderborg DK in July for the fifth time, following seminars in Rhodes/Brandbjerg, Novi Sad, Belgrade and Soenderborg. We now have a base at The University of Southern DK, Alsion – a great venue in the border region of Slesvig Holsten.

Up to 100 young people from more than 25 countries in Europe, the US, Russia and the Middle East will meet to further develop a platform for dialogue, discuss scenarios for an intercultural Europe, create narratives in the form of storytelling, and interact with inhabitants and tourists. To combine “old-fashioned” political discussion with new tools of creativity and performance.
We hope to set up models and agendas for inspiration and work, at a time when euroscepticism is rising. Important topics will be : Environment and Sustainability, Migration and Mobility and History and Memory, topics which will be dealt with in a variety of forms, and hopefully will provide new input for the ongoing discussion of how to support and strengthen civil society and give young people a stronger voice in the decision-making.

The seminar is conducted in cooperation with local partners, The Municipality of Soenderborg, The University of Southern Denmark and New Europe as well as with EUNET partners: Centre Européen Robert Schuman, Maison de l´Europe de Rennes et Haute Bretagne, Europa-Haus Marienberg, The House of Europe in Rhodes, EUTIS and MEP Serbia.
It is sponsored by funds and the Erasmus+ program.

ME Yvelines – EU project “CitiPart – Cities’ Partnership against extremism and populism”

ME YvelinesCitiPart “Cities’ Partnership against extremism and populism” is meant to be an interactive network, discussing and reacting on current social and political events on local as well as on European level. Members of the network are towns, Europe Houses, European organisations well known in their countries for their involvement in active citizenship, town twinning committees and youth organisations. The close cooperation with local councillors will give the possibility not only to develop projects but also to carry them out with their help.

An extremely low turnout in the European and other national elections, a bad social and economic situation, growing unemployment, especially youth unemployment, and a general tendency not to trust politicians any more are a fertile soil for the constant raise of various populisms and extremisms.

CitiPart wants to react against those increasing tendencies throughout discussions and interactive workshops about the three fundamental European values which are SOLIDARITY, TOLERANCE and PEACE, foster the intergenerational dialogue and revitalize the exchange between citizens and their local councillors.

CitiPart is co-funded by the Europe for Citizens programme.
