„A Soul for Europe“ Konferenz

10.+11. November 2017
Radialsystem V

“Wer übernimmt Verantwortung für Europa?”
Wie Bürgerinnen und Bürger, Städte und Parlamente für die Zukunft Europas zusammenarbeiten müssen


Unter dem Motto „Wer übernimmt Verantwortung für Europa?“ veranstalten die zivilgesellschaftlichen Initiativen „A Soul for Europe“ und „Cities for Europe“ gemeinsam mit deutschen und europäischen Partnern die „A Soul for Europe“ Konferenz 2017. Leitgedanke ist, dass die Bürgerinnen und Bürger in den Städten und Regionen die Basis und damit die eigentlichen Eigentümer des europäischen Projekts sind – ihre Verantwortung muss gestärkt werden.
Verschiedene Themenschwerpunkte werden in parallelen Workshops vertieft und beispielhafte Projekte auf dem MARKTPLATZ EUROPA präsentiert – sie zeigen, wie aktive Kommunen und einzelne Bürger*innen vor Ort ihre Verantwortung für Europa wahrnehmen. Die Auftaktveranstaltung findet am 10. November 2017 im Allianz Forum statt.
Der Eintritt ist frei.

A Soul for Europe Conference 2017

10
– 11 November 2017, Allianz Forum | Radialsystem V | Berlin In cooperation with ‘Wir sind Europa’ and ‘Cities for Europe’

Who is assuming responsibility for Europe –
How citizens, cities and parliaments should cooperate for Europe


Friday, 10 November, Allianz Forum
Under the High Patronage of the European Parliament

7.00 pm Welcome words by A Soul for Europe and Gerry Woop, State Secretary for European Affairs, City of Berlin

7.15 – 8.45 pm Public debate “Who is assuming responsibility for Europe?
How citizens, cities and parliaments should cooperate for Europe”

Citizens are the cause and goal of the European Union. However, those citizens, as well as the cities and regions they live in, represent not only the basis of Europe – they are also jointly responsible for the success of the European unification process. This panel discussion confronts the citizens with the top-down mechanisms of everyday life in Europe. It demands for new methods of sharing responsibility in order for the European unification process to succeed.

The opening event will discuss statements of representatives from each level of political responsibility: Emil Boc (Mayor of Cluj-Napoca), Elmar Brok (MEP; President Union of European Federalists), Karl-Heinz Lambertz (President Committee of the Regions), Gerry Woop (State Secretary for European Affairs, City of Berlin), Juan Gabriel Vásquez (writer)
The panel is moderated by Laura Kleiner, Carin Tiggeloven members of the initiative “Wir sind Europa!” and Volker Hassemer, Chairman of Stiftung Zukunft Berlin.
