SUMMARY:Wales for Europe and European Movement in Scotland in conversation
DESCRIPTION:Wales for Europe President Anthony Slaughter\, and David Martin\,  President of The European Movement in Scotland\, in conversation about the impact of Brexit on Wales and Scotland. \nThe Brexit vote raised questions about the identity and future direction of Scotland – which strongly voted to remain in 2016. Wales voted to leave\, but as the economic impact of Brexit came to fruition\, a recent survey showed that every Welsh constituency regrets Brexit. This in turn has given rise to a strong sense of a Euro-Celtic identity for many people living in Wales and Scotland. \nAttendees will have the opportunity to take part in the discussion and ask questions. \n\nMore details and registration here. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:EXPRESS2 Online Workshop: A future we build together 27 June\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:The EXPRESS2 project aims to develop a more inclusive\, democratic\, and sustainable new social contract for the European Union (EU). We want a social contract that strengthens democracy\, promotes justice and equality\, and protects the rights and well-being of everyone living in the EU. \nThis new Social Contract is being developed through research\, public dialogue\, and participatory engagement. A fundamental aspect in this process and in achieving this goal is engaging citizens and civil society organizations (CSOs) through a series of well-structured events and workshops. These gatherings will emphasize and discuss themes such as trust in institutions\, populism\, climate change\, digitalisation and insecurity\, which are identified as potentially disruptive elements affecting social cohesion and trust in Europe. \n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\nFrom June 2025 until June 2026 the EMI\, which leads the work on citizens engagement and deliberation\, will organise a series of online and offline meetings with the key European civil society stakeholders from European and national level to craft together the input for the European Social Contract. \nIf you could choose the kind of future we live in — Would you want to retire with peace of mind?  Should every young person have access to quality education? How should AI and tech be regulated to protect people’s data and privacy\, not just profits? \nThese are the kinds of questions we will explore together. \nThrough the EU-funded EXPRESS2 project\, we’re creating a new vision for the future of Europe — one that puts people first.  Some call it a social contract. We call it a shared vision we can all stand behind. \nWe’re working with CSOs across Europe to gather real input\, on real issues — from democracy and justice to digitalisation and climate. \nYour ideas will help shape recommendations that will go directly to top EU researchers\, academics\, and decision-makers at the European Commission. \nEach workshop will focus on one big theme. They’re collaborative\, interactive\, and yes\, even fun. \nFirst up: our Introductory Workshop on June 27 from 10.00 to 12.00 CET. \n\nHear from Fabien Dell (DG EMPL)\n\n\nJoin small group discussions\n\n\nConnect with CSOs from across Europe\n\n\nBe part of shaping the process from the start\n\nThis is your chance to help write what comes next. Let’s make it count. Register here.
