“Neighborhood – a key competence and future challenge for Europe” – A Franco-German-Polish discussion

Conference

Alliance Europa is partnering the Genshagen Foundation for this online event, which will be simultaneously translated into French, German and Polish.

The discussion will include :

  • Natalie Nougayrède, journalist and member of the editorial board, The Guardian, London (who will also give the opening speech)
  • Sylvie Hamard, Artistic Director of the Franco-German “Perspectives” festival, Saarbrücken/Versailles

Michel Catala, head of the Alliance Europa Institute for European and Global Studies, will conclude the event.

 

Event realized within the framework of the central theme of the Genshagen Fundation for 2020 and 2021 : Building cohesion – neighborhood in Europe .

The fundation wishes to adress the “neighborhood” question as a competence in Europe. It will consist in questionning how this competence can be reinforced, what are the ways to encourage the links between neighbors (be they indivduals, communities or States) and how to develop durably the cohesion within the European societies, and between them. The Genshagen Fundation takes a broad view of the “neighborhood”, encompassing the social level, regional issues, the importance of the neighborhood for the European Union, as well as the large field of globalization.

 

This event is supported by the Franco-german citizen fund.

GENSHAGEN FOUNDATION

The Genshagen Foundation is a public interest civil law foundation.

It was created by the State of Brandenburg and the Federal Republic of Germany represented by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media (BKM).

Europe is a political and cultural project. The Genshagen Foundation is dedicated to these two fundamental aspects of the European Union, and aims to be a meeting point and a forum for dialogue between art and culture, politics, business, science and the media. At the interface between civil society and the state, the Foundation has been operating since 2009 in two areas of activity: Artistic and Cultural Dialogue in Europe and European Dialogue – Thinking Political Europe.
