Le Festi-Forum Europie

<p lang="en-US"> How?</p> <p lang="en-US">  </p> <p> EuroPie, The Festi-Forum of Alternatives, is an initiative from <strong>EYES</strong> (Empowering Youth in European Society), a network of European citizens whose goal is to strengthen the active role of youth as an actor in civil society.</p> <p lang="en-US"> <img alt="92_-_networking_at_the_wsf" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/34209/92_-_networking_at_the_WSF.jpg"></p> <p lang="en-US">  </p> <p lang="en-US">  EYES, an <strong>open network built by and for young people</strong>, impliments its own seminars, meetings, campaigns and public actions in order to achieve its objectives. "EYES is born from the strength and will of young people who want to be actors rather than just observers in soceity. Because we want to participate in decisions and actions that affect our lives and society as a whole. Because we understand that alone we will achieve nothing.

From the Greek Debt Audit campaigns to the growing transition network, from the Occupy movement to the many local and international NGOs; civil societies are rising up across the world to reclaim political power. But as important as it is to act locally where we live, we also cannot forget the importance of becoming visible and acting collectively on a larger scale.</p> <p lang="en-US"> <img alt="86_-_in_different_cultures__different_manifestations__different_causes" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/34263/86_-_In_different_cultures__different_manifestations__different_causes.jpg"></p> <p> Let's come together to design, share and implement the alternatives we envision. We are seeing the beginning of a Europe where ecological sustainability, solidarity and social justice are fundamental principles. We all recognise the need for an economic and political system that respects planetary boundaries, as well as the need for a safe and just space for humanity to exist on equal terms, both with each other and the Earth as a whole.</p> <p lang="en-US">  </p> <p lang="en-US"> <strong>What?</strong></p> <p lang="en-US">  </p> <p lang="en-US"> <strong>Three days of EuroPie what can you expect??
