SUMMARY:Freedom of movement: the key to rejoin
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nWhy is Freedom of Movement so important? \nHow do we explain this to our fellow citizens? \nMutual Freedom of Movement is the gateway to rejoining the EU. Freedom of movement of people (along with free movement of goods\, services\, and capital)\, is a fundamental principle of the EU Single Market. There can be no return to the Single Market or the EU without FoM. Any campaign to rejoin the Single Market or the EU must convince the government to embrace the return of FoM. But FoM is currently rejected by both Conservatives and Labour\, who say that FoM of people has been abolished “once and for all”. \nOpposition to FoM is based on a mistaken belief that FoM means uncontrolled immigration. The public is not well informed on this issue\, a factor which greatly assisted the leave campaign. People are now becoming more aware that ending FoM affects their own and their families’ choices\, as well as undermining the UK economy\, impacting the workforce in key industries\, impeding business travel and decimating the arts. FoM is strongly supported by the public in all EU member states. \nThe aim of this webinar is to equip pro-EU activists for a campaign to restore FoM\, and so open the door to Single Market and EU membership. We will cover three strands of the campaign: debunking myths\, a positive narrative\, and the dos and don’ts of persuasive communicating. \nThe webinar will provide the basis for a crib sheet for FoM campaigners.

SUMMARY:EU after the watershed
DESCRIPTION:The EU faces multiple challenges\, both internally and externally\, so what does its future hold and is it still the right answer after the watershed? \n\n\nThe European Union has been going through enormous changes. Driven by the Permacrisis – an extended period of insecurity and instability – fundamental transformations in technology\, sustainability and demography and the watershed moment of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine\, security\, particularly economic security\, is now firmly back on the agenda. \n\n\nThe EU will have to continue to change and adapt to address this triple challenge. But this must happen in the difficult context of both internal and external fragmentation and polarisation. \n\n\nWhat does this imply for the future of the EU? Is the EU moving from being a community of values enshrined in law to a confederation of interest driven by Realpolitik? And is the EU still the right answer to today’s changed environment? \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Fabian Zuleeg\n\n\n\n\nSPEAKER \n\n\nDr Fabian Zuleeg\n\n\nChief Executive\, European Policy Centre \n\n\nSince October 2013\, Dr Fabian Zuleeg has been Chief Executive of the European Policy Centre\, with overall responsibility\, including providing strategic direction\, managing its staff and resources and representing the EPC. He remains Chief Economist. Fabian holds a PhD from Edinburgh University and has worked in academia\, the public and the private sector. He focuses on the future of European integration and how Europe can meet the triple challenge of the watershed of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine\, the fundamental transformations and the Permacrisis. He coined this term with EPC colleagues in 2021 in the context of internal political dis-cohesion and a contested global landscape. Fabian also focuses on transnational cooperation between European Think Tanks. \n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/x/eu-after-the-watershed-beyond-interdependence-online-tickets-721897192937?aff=eemailordconf&ref=eemailordconf&utm_campaign=order_confirm&utm_medium=email&utm_source=eventbrite&app_cta_src=order_conf_email&utm_term=digitalx\n\n\n\n\nBOOK NOW\, IN PERSON \nBOOK NOW\, ONLINE

SUMMARY:Wealth of a nation: Scotland
DESCRIPTION:Record low interest rates over the past 30 years led to a wealth boom\, with Scottish households seeing wealth rise by £700 billion since the financial crisis alone. But surging interest rates in 2022 have brought this era to an abrupt end\, causing pension valuations to crater\, mortgage costs to rise\, and house prices to fall. Who holds this wealth\, where they live and how their wealth is likely to evolve in the coming years has profound implications for politics and policy in Scotland. \nHow is wealth distributed across the nations of the UK and what determines its variation? How is Scotland likely to be affected by the outlook for asset prices and interest rates in the years ahead? And what actions should policy makers in Scotland be considering in a world of falling wealth\, but large wealth gaps? \nThe Resolution Foundation is hosting an in-person event in Edinburgh – as part of our ongoing wealth across Britain project\, in partnership with the abrdn Financial Fairness Trust – to debate and explore these questions. Following a presentation of new research\, which will examine regional and national wealth trends across the UK\, we will hear from leading experts on what the changing scale and nature of wealth in Scotland means for policy and politics. \nThe event will be open for people to physically attend\, alongside being broadcast via YouTube and the Resolution Foundation website. Viewers will be able to submit questions to the panel before and during the event via Slido.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate and Time\nMonday 30 October 2023\n1:30 – 2:45pm\nRefreshments from 1pm. \nRegister to receive access link.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\nJohn Curtice\nProfessor of Politics at Strathclyde University \nLiz Lloyd\nFormer Chief of Staff to Nicola Sturgeon \nKezia Dugdale\nFormer Leader of the Scottish Labour Party \nIan Mulheirn\nResearch Associate at the Resolution Foundation \nTorsten Bell (Chair)\nChief Executive of the Resolution Foundation

SUMMARY:Highlands & Islands 4 EU Group relaunch in Ullapool
DESCRIPTION:Jo Goodburn\, EMiS vice-chair\, and Victoria Lee\, executive member\, will be on hand to spread the word at the Ceilidh Place hotel about Europe and our campaigns. \nJo will giove a presentation on decision making in the EU\, about her job there: The Corridors of Brussels – an Insider’s view.  It could be a useful information provider as most pro Brexiteers reasons for not wanting to be part of the EU were and are that they feel decisions are taken by people who know nothing about Scotland etc.  This is an effort to demystify the EU decision making process – something countless UK governments and the UK press have failed to do!  It gives people the info they need to counter arguments that EU law is made by unelected\, over paid faceless bureaucrats!!

SUMMARY:Scotland WITHIN UK - or UK WITHOUT Scotland?
DESCRIPTION:In the referendum on Scottish independence held in 2014\, the Scottish clearly rejected the idea of their country becoming an independent country by 55.3% to 44.7%.  Nevertheless\, for the Scottish National Party\, who dream of Scotland as a separate sovereign state\, if possible within the European Union\,  that disappointing result is still not the end of the story. The demands for a second referendum – “IndyRef2” – have not dwindled\, even though the opinion polls give a relatively unclear picture of what might happen in the Scottish people had a second chance. \nTo provide up-to-date background information on this question\, we have invited two guest speakers: Kirsty Hughes from the Scottish Centre on European Relations and Mark Lazarowicz\, a British lawyer who was a Labour MP in the Westminster government for many years to throw some light on the various aspects of this issue\, such as: Could there be a second referendum? What would the consequences be for the United Kingdom? Could Scotland become a member state of the European Union? \nThe online event is organized by Europe Direct Dortmund and the Anglo-German-Association in Auslandsgesellschaft.de. \nZoom-Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81189433085?pwd=PKuOHeT0JnwxfJXAbgGcN9s05YWaa3.1 \nMeeting-ID: 811 8943 3085\nKenncode: 727375 (password)

SUMMARY:Brexit: a failed project in a failing state
DESCRIPTION:Another Europe Is Possible\n\nBrexit has failed to address any of the substantive challenges of the day\, but it was not a ‘year zero’ for the many problems facing the United Kingdom and\, in fact\, reflected decades of public policy failure. That’s the argument of Oxford University professor Danny Dorling in his provocative new report\, Brexit: a failed project in a failing state\, published by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and Another Europe Is Possible. \nJoin AEIP at the report launch in person or online on Wednesday 25 October\, 6pm BST to discuss how we can organise to fight government failure and overturn the consequences of years of destructive policy. \nThe in-person event takes place from 6pm on Wed 25 Oct at Room 1.08 Marshall Building\, London School of Economics and Political Science\, Lincoln Inn Fields London WC2A 3LY. \nHear from: \nDanny Dorling (@dannydorling) is the Halford Mackinder Professor in the School of Geography and the Environment at the University of Oxford. He is the author of Inequality and the 1%\, third edition published in autumn 2019. His most recent book is Shattered Nation; Inequality and the Geography of A Failing State (Verso Books\, 2023). His report\, Brexit: a failed project in a failing state? is published by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and Another Europe Is Possible. \nZoe Williams (@zoesqwilliams) is a Guardian journalist\, the author of Get It Together: Why We Deserve Better Politics (Hutchinson\, 2016) and the co-host of the Another Europe Is Possible podcast. \nLuke Cooper (@lukecooper100) is an Associate Professorial Research Fellow in International Relations at LSE IDEAS\, LSE’s in-house foreign policy think tank and director of PeaceRep’s Ukraine programme.

Whether because of Brexit or because of external events\, rapid reform for the EU\, its policies and its institutions is the order of the day in Brussels. The Federal Trust and James Madison Charitable Trust are jointly organising this one-day conference to consider what a reformed European Union will look like in 2033. \nThe agenda of the conference will revolve around four central topics\, the EU as a geopolitical actor\, the EU’s economic future\, the EU’s democratic legitimacy and the EU’s environmental policies. Expert speakers will lead the discussion of these topics in separate sessions\, during which there will be ample time for the audience to contribute its views and questions. The conference will not aim to predict in detail the EU’s future development. It will seek rather to analyse the challenges and options that decision-makers in the EU will face in the coming years. \nParticipation in the conference is free but registration is required. Lunch and refreshments throughout the day will be provided.

SUMMARY:Edinburgh Euro Walk for EU Citizens' Rights
DESCRIPTION:We are the Citizens Rights Project\, the leading organization in Scotland for all EU nationals in need to secure their rights. \nWe are organizing a fundraising walk around those sights and locations in Edinburgh that highlight the historical contributions European citizens have made to Scotland/ the historical links among European Citizens and Scotland. \nWe will be visiting places around central Edinburgh\, some of which are already known for their European connections\, and some others which you may never have realized are interlinked to European heritage/ history. \nAmongst the places we will visit are ones with a connection with France\, Netherlands\, Poland\, Switzerland\, Norway\, Spain\, Germany\, Spain\, Belgium\, Italy\, Ukraine\, and Portugal – and perhaps a few other countries as well! You can do the walk in a group led by our expert guide\, or on your own with our self-guided route. \nIt won’t all be about dry historical details- we will also be visiting locations with a contemporary European vibe! \n  \nThe total duration of the walk will be about one and a half hours\, which will allow a reasonably leisurely walk. The entire route can be undertaken ‘step-free’. \n(In the event of bad weather\, the route may be varied). \nThe charge for each participant is £10\, and all money raised will go directly to the Citizens’ Rights Project. Find more information about the work of the Citizens Rights Project here: https://citizensrightsproject.org/ \nWe will meet at 11 am on Saturday 14 October\, at a central Edinburgh location. Details will be provided to those who book a place. The start and end points are both less than 15 minutes’ walk from Edinburgh Waverley station\, with good bus and cycle links also. \nSign up here

SUMMARY:The EU and Brexit negotiations: views from Brussels
DESCRIPTION:Brexit has dominated headlines in the UK for years. Yet the perspective has often been centred on British politics\, leaving a big part of the story untold. How did the EU respond to the Brexit vote? How did EU principles and processes shape the EU’s negotiating strategies? And how has Brexit in turn shaped today’s EU? This event brings together renowned observers and practitioners of Brexit from the European side to discuss these issues.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Brigid Laffan\nEmeritus Professor at the European University Institute\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStefaan De Rynck\nHead of the European Commission’s Representation in Belgium\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is part of the RSE Scotland-Europe Initiative\, held in partnership with the Europa Institute\, University of Edinburgh.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBook now

SUMMARY:What went wrong with Brexit?
DESCRIPTION:Peter Foster in conversation with Alex Hall Hall\nSpeakers: Peter Foster\, Alex Hall Hall\nOrganised by: Grassroot for Europe.\nBooking Website:\nhttps://www.tickettailor.com/events/grassrootsforeurope1/970098# \nRegistration is now open for Grassroots for Europe’s next public webinar\, talking a week after publication with Peter Foster\, author of what may be one of the most important books on Brexit yet to appear\, What Went Wrong With Brexit (and What We Can Do About It?) (Canongate\, September 7th). Peter is public policy editor of the Financial Times and has led its incisive and acclaimed coverage of Brexit. He’ll talk about his book and its message to Alex Hall Hall\, the diplomat and ambassador who resigned in protest at post-Brexit UK government dishonesty\, and is now an influential columnist with Byline Times. \nA world-leading business\, trade and finance journalist\, Peter and his colleagues at the FT made earlier this year a 27-minute video on the effects of Brexit which had 5 million views\, prompting him to write this book\, a comprehensive\, detailed and damning survey which has already earned wide acclaim: \n“Foster has been a tireless and expert chronicler of Brexit reality even as many of his fellow journalists failed or refused to understand both simple and complex facts” (James O’Brien)\n“We are trapped in a desperate corner\, argues Foster\, with limited options” (Will Hutton)\n“Everyone should read this book. Then read it again and memorise it” (Emily Maitlis) \nFoster shows in compelling detail the damaging effects our Brexit deal has has on our economy\, shows that these they are inevitable\, not accidental\, and shows how they are set to deepen as UK and EU diverge. Then he shows what remedies and mitigations may be available to UK politicians who commit to retaining our current Brexit red lines.\nFoster’s conclusions are challenging and sobering. These improvements are worth having if we can get them\, but not enough. They will not “make Brexit work”. Foster does not tell us what we should do\, but says that “space is now emerging for a rethink”. Business is restless\, industries are at risk\, investment is flatlining. It is certainly time for a rethink. \nRegistration is open and free\, donations are welcome to fund future live events. \n

SUMMARY:Enlightened economics
DESCRIPTION:Lessons from Adam Smith on the economic challenges facing modern Britain\n\n\n\n\nJesse Norman MP in conversation with Amanda Rowlatt\nRegister to attend in person or to receive an access link for online viewers. \nAdam Smith was a leading political economy thinker of the Scottish enlightenment in the mid-late 18th century. But as the “Father of Capitalism” his pioneering work on free market economics has influenced politicians\, philosophers and economists throughout the 19th\, 20th and 21st centuries too. \nBut modern Britain – as well as other advanced economies – is struggling with economic stagnation. Many people are questioning the central tenants of capitalism that Smith championed – from free trade and globalisation to regulation and the role of the state – and whether they can deliver the living standards growth that people need. What lessons can we learn from Adam Smith on the economic challenges facing Britain today? \nTo mark the 300th anniversary of the birth of Adam Smith\, the Resolution Foundation is co-hosting an event with the Society of Professional Economists to discuss what his work can teach us about the economic challenges of Britain today. We will be joined by one of the leading experts on Adam Smith\, Minister and author Jesse Norman MP. \nThe event will be open for people to physically attend\, alongside being broadcast via YouTube and the Resolution Foundation website. Viewers will be able to submit questions to the panel before and during the event via Slido. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Signup\n
