The 2020 Progressive Governance Digital Summit, co-hosted by FEPS, brought together more than 100 international speakers, who exchanged ideas and developed concepts for change in more than 30 sessions. Decision makers of today and tomorrow from governments and parliaments, political advisers and strategists, next-generation thought leaders from civil society, social movements, social partners and academia met online between 15 and 19 June 2020 to discuss shared visions of what a post-Covid-19 world should and could look like.


Join the international progressive community and co-create a vision of solidarity, well-being and new democratic legitimacy for the post-COVID-19 world!

There is currently great uncertainty about the social, economic and political consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic. A return to “normality” as we know it appears unlikely. It is clear that the dynamics of the crisis will create a different world with different futures for individuals, communities and places. This crisis has revealed the structural weaknesses in our societies. As we move from crisis management to rebuilding the economy and society, momentum for change is growing. Until now, solutions to the crisis have been national instead of inter- or transnational, which has hindered much needed cooperation.

For progressives, this is the moment to come together and discuss shared visions on common solutions to the crisis. We believe that it is imperative for progressives to promote international solidarity in times of crisis: how to achieve it will be the central objective of #PGS20.
