The Alternative is an\u200b action-oriented\u00a0international party and movement with a special focus on serious sustainable transition, everyday democracy and the entrepreneurial creative power of society and individuals.<\/p>\n
In extending the invitation, the organisers said:<\/p>\n
“We are very\u00a0interested\u00a0in\u00a0incorporating different voices of progressive Europeans, e.g. yours, which we have come to know through your work\u00a0in the\u00a0Wake Up Foundation\u00a0<\/strong>and from the film\u00a0<\/em>The Great European Disaster Movie.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\n<\/em><\/strong>The event is the third in a series of events addressing different but related themes of concern:<\/p>\n1) The need for improvement of the democratic structures\u00a0in\u00a0the EU<\/p>\n
2) The need for more solidarity\u00a0in\u00a0Europe and\u00a0in\u00a0the EU<\/p>\n
3) The question of how we revive the EU as a peace project.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“We see ourselves as a movement, which has the courage to imagine a radically different future. We develop our politics through our\u00a0innovative political laboratories, where citizens come together to develop and debate new ideas and visions. It is our way of engaging both the public and experts\u00a0in\u00a0our political work. Our core aim is to hear and\u00a0include as many voices as possible.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
On the European level, The Alternative’s key aim is “to create a more progressive and democratic European Union based on a stronger participatory democracy and new ways of practicing democracy\u00a0in\u00a0a European context”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
