What Holds Europe Together?

The European integration project is under heavier assault than it ever has been since its inception.

Europa Quo Vadis? Facts, Ideas And Alliances To Bring Back The European Dream

Most governments did not challenge the alleged majority feelings of their public opinion: political consensus has been building around the idea that Europe as a space of freedom, free circulation and well-being for all is not working and that this was all a foolish dream.

Plenary
End of fossil fuels: Greens and Divestment 

The historic Paris agreement in December 2015 marks the beginning of the end for fossil fuels.

To reach these goals, we need to keep the vast majority of fossil fuels in the ground. The divest-invest movement has scored remarkable wins, but the transition is not happening fast enough.

21:00 Dinner at the venue  L153
21:30 Party in Museum Speelklok with music from Orchestre Partout, a band that consists of (former) refugees. They play the music that members put in, sung in their mother tongues, performed by all. They sing in Farsi, French, Uygur, Arabic, Urdu, Birmese, Lingala, and what not. Both the line-up of the band and the repertoire is in constant transition.

We arranged 2 tours through the museum, one at 21:00 and one at 21:30. Make sure to be on time! Volunteers will guide you to the party.
