FEPS @FEPS_Europe #CallToEurope

INTRODUCTION TO THIS YEAR’S TOPIC Europe is slowly emerging from Covid-19. It has been a major health crisis and a magnifier of multiple challenges that have been left without a solution for far too long. So, while every vaccination increases the hope that life can slowly return to ‘normal’, there is at the same time a legitimate question about what the new normal will be. The European progressives, who have just been in the driving seat of the Social Summit in Porto, are very clear that the path must involve a fight – a fight against inequalities and for strong states; against injustice and for a sustainable economy; against abuse and for resilient in Europe and across the globe. How to make this happen, how to close the social gaps and how to act upon our solidarity are the questions at the core of the conversation that we as FEPS will hold at Call to Europe 10. Be part of it and you will contribute to shaping the policy proposals that will be discussed and the way to making them reality. This opportunity is just a click away!

MIND THE SOCIAL GAPS… The aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic is tragic. It is leaving Europe like a battlefield covered with landmines, each of which represents a social gap and each of which can cause another explosion. It will take much leadership, perseverance and boldness to navigate this minefield and to build a bridge to move beyond. Some of the particularly large gaps to be bridged are the:

• Gender gap. Since the pandemic has been an asymmetric shock, it has seen many women struggle to carry on with their professional lives and combine these responsibilities with the increased demands to provide care for their loved ones. The number of challenges in the fight for gender equality have risen and they can only all be tackled if Europe manages to build caring economies and caring . • Income gap. During lockdowns, low-income people have had fewer opportunities to continue employment and have been the first to feel the painful consequences of precarious contracts and hazardous working conditions. Now is the time for Europe to focus on delivering on its promise of more and better jobs, with more lifelong learning opportunities and adequate social protection. • Territorial gap. Covid-19 has attacked disadvantaged regions the hardest. More people have died in these regions because of a lack of adequate health infrastructure and a lack of means to protect themselves against exposure. This is the toll of the neoliberal decades and austerity, and Europe needs to recover from it by investing and by improving the quality of public services for everyone across the European Union. • Intergenerational gap. 2020 made Millennials and Generation Z fall behind in terms of living and working conditions. The opportunities they hoped to grasp have become out of reach and the dreams they hoped to achieve by conquering the world to improve it seem to have blurred behind an unreachable horizon. The time is now for Europe to act and to put in place a new social contract that embodies intergenerational solidarity.

The European Union must become the driver of progressive transformation – and that is the Call that FEPS, together with its members, partners and community of speakers, is making this year.

17:00 – 17:30 VIRTUAL COFFEE BREAK: DIGITAL NETWORKING ROOM IS OPEN THE HUMAN FACE OF THE EU

The European Union has created an ineffable bond between its people – be they European citizens or newcomers. This bond arises from the promise of a construction that aims to sustain peace for as long as humanity lives. Humans in the EU is a project that brings together creators, storytellers, journalists and influencers to compose together the human story of Europe. As well as photographs and written texts, the project now uses diverse creative media to recount human stories fostering intercultural understanding, dialogue, and active citizenship. The project has received official support and funding from the European Parliament.

Tune in for the first virtual carousel of Call to Europe and to a short storytelling session with the founder of the Humans in the EU project.

SOUNDOUS BOUALAM, Head of Communications at Alliance4Europe and Founder of Humans in the EU,

18:30 – 19:15 ACCELERATING AND DELIVERING ON THE GREEN RECOVERY CALL TO EUROPE 10 TALK, FOLLOWED BY Q&A

There may be no other chance like the present to ensure a systemic shift in our commitments towards carbon neutrality. This Call to Europe 10th anniversary edition marks the start of what scientists consider to be the most defining ten years in the future of our planet. The EU Green deal, and implementation of EU and national climate laws, offer very positive developments, yet there is still a huge gap in what needs to be done. The type of recovery path and legislative frameworks concerning climate ambition will make a difference. One of the most important and crucial elements will likely be garnering wider public support to enable and accelerate climate action. As the key architect of the 2008 UK climate act which helped pave the way for the Paris agreement, is one of the most recognised political players currently on the scene. With the COP26 this year in Glasgow expected to be a key moment, this session will be timely in assessing how to accelerate and ensure good delivery of the green recovery and a just social-ecological transition.

DAY 1: Tuesday 25 May 2021 TEN YEARS OF CALL TO EUROPE – A DECADE OF PROGRESSIVE THINKING

20:30 – 21:15 NIGHT OWL SESSION – WELFARE IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Over the past year we have leapfrogged into the digital future, with more than one third of the population now working online. But while work is changing quickly, our institutions are not. The question of how to ensure social and labour protection in this changing context is thus no longer marginal and emergent, but crucial and urgent. And this is at the core of the 2nd Call – which is about a new social contract in a digital economy. How do we draft it? How can we close social gaps? An answer to this can be found in the must-read, instructive and inspirational book ‘Reinventing the ’, whose author – Ursula Huws – is honouring this evening’s session!

16:15 – 17:30 PROGRESSIVES IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT – FOR A EUROPEAN RECOVERY BASED ON SUSTAINABILITY, SOLIDARITY AND SOCIAL RIGHTS

The social democrats in power have made a great difference in the pandemic. They have gone beyond the measures of crisis management – and have really governed. They have kept their countries together, they have worked tirelessly inside the European Union, and they have not forgotten about their global responsibilities – all to make sure that there is a response to the crisis, while still upholding their long-term commitments. They have been humble and humane, they have been responsible and prudent, but they have not shied away from using the openings that come with such trying times to convert them into political opportunities. With this in mind, FEPS is honoured to invite you to take part in an exchange with Ministers, who will be offering insights into the political war rooms across the EU and who are in the best position to answer the question: and from here, quo vadis, Europe?

17:30 – 18:00 CALL TO EUROPE 10 TALK – ‘EUROPE NEEDS TO GO BIG’, FOLLOWED BY Q&A

Amid one of the most serious crises and an internal reflection process on its own future, Europe has very few options besides going big. European countries are confronted with a variety of different common challenges in the economic, tech and climate sphere; only by scaling up European cooperation will it be possible to find meaningful solutions. There should be no feeling of content for the swift policy response to the pandemic; rather, EU leaders must seize

18:00 – 18:45 FEMINIST CULTURE CAFÉ – MIND THE GENDER GAP

What would have happened if Shakespeare had a sister with the same genius? Reflecting on the place of women in fiction, this question was asked by Virginia Woolf back in 1929. Culture and arts constitute extremely powerful tools to foster women’s rights and to share common experiences. And if some may argue there are fewer female artists, it is not because they are not there but simply because the powers in place have not been celebrating them. In the spirt of closing this big gap, FEPS launched its Feminist Culture Café series, which is now opening its door wide for you – open-minded, progressive and culture lovers – to celebrate its special edition! During this 45-minute session, our specially invited guests will discuss how feminism and culture should remain the centrepiece when crafting an inclusive and diverse Europe, despite Covid-19 having had such devastating effects on the cultural and creative sectors, affecting women artists in particular. How can everyone be brought back together? How can talents be unleashed? How can safe spaces for creativity be created? These and many more ‘hows’ are expected to be answered this evening!

20:30 – 21:15 NIGHT OWL SESSION – PROGRESSIVES IN ACTION TO BUILD BACK BETTER

We all hope that life will return to normal soon, but we also hope that politics has learnt the lesson and will return with a renewed character in the post-pandemic world. Progressives are engaged all around Europe, from the local to the European level, to ensure that the post-coronavirus society is more egalitarian, more caring and more sustainable. The to-do list is huge, as are the ambitions and expectations. Health, housing, education, employment, and climate are just a few areas in which the demand for solutions is high and the need to deliver is pressing. Public goods’ access and quality have always been a distinctive feature of social- democratic platforms. At this moment in time, they are in high demand. How can we make sure that policymakers deliver on this greatly needed change? What are the conditions for bringing about a new course of direction? How can we make sure that citizens see it is progressives who are leading the way?

DAY 3: Thursday 27 May 2021 CELEBRATING A NEW DECADE OF PROGRESSIVE THINKING AND LOOKING FORWARD TO PROGRESSIVE ACTION

08:30 – 09:30 HACKATHON – MIND THE INTERGENERATIONAL GAP

Millennials are the first generation in post-war Europe to have heard the prediction that they will be worse off than their parents. They have lived through two profound shocks – the 2008 financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic – both of which have deprived them of opportunities and disempowered them in terms of rights, such as the right to take their own future in their own hands. But while young people’s dreams are being crushed and they are being called a ‘lost generation’, it is among the elderly that so many have fallen into poverty, lost a sense of security and are struggling in these times of scarce public services, such as care and healthcare. Is there a way forward for either generation? There certainly is – as soon as the sense of solidarity translates into an intergenerational one, framing a new social contract that will enable the current gap to be closed. The speakers invited to this morning’s session are the frontrunners of the intergenerational agenda – so don’t miss what they have to say!

Join us for an insightful roundtable on these ideas, and for the launch of our new book ‘Our European Future’. This publication captures months of fascinating discussions on a wide range of issues – from rethinking our welfare system in view of the ecological and digital transformations and the post-Covid challenges, to rethinking our external action and reforming the multilateral system, to redefining our economic governance for an empowered EU and the next democratic transformation.

15:30 – 16:05 LIVE INTERVIEW ON NEXT GENERATION EU

Next Generation EU is notably the most visible and tangible response that the European Union has devised during this crisis. It goes beyond the management of the emergency and raises the ambitions towards reconstructing our economic model. The National Recovery plans are rightly requested to focus on the climate and the digital transition, but the ‘how’ is mostly left to the strategies and implementation of member states. How can we make sure that objectives of ‘justice’ are seen as a crucial part of the national transition and recovery strategies? What are the political and institutional arrangements needed to make use of this important public-led investment initiative for a more equal and stronger society?

16:05 – 16:45 RING RING EUROPE! MIND THE REGIONAL GAP

Social inequalities are increasingly intertwined with regional divergence, and it appears difficult to fight inequalities without addressing the regional divide. Covid- 19 has further magnified the social inequalities within EU member states as well as across countries; access to quality healthcare, first-rate education and decent housing for instance, are crucial elements for the life standards we want to protect and advance but they are not easily accessible in some European regions. Without creating opportunities and delivering quality public services in regions that lag behind, how can it be possible to address the geography of discontent and fight the increasing inequalities?
