Every year, the Silver Rose Awards ceremony brings together a wide audience of like-minded individuals with backgrounds in civil society, the trade union movement, youth, and politics.

The Silver Rose Awards is a crucial opportunity to recognise and celebrate an organisation and individual who have made outstanding contribution to the progressive movement and to advancing a social, just and green transition.

In the face of a challenging political context with shifting priorities, it is more important than ever to highlight people within our movement working tirelessly to ensure a just transition and social justice stay on the agenda.

Congratulations to the 2025 Silver Rose Award winners: La Via Campesina will be presented with the Just Transition Award, and Agnes Jongerius the Lifetime Achievement Award.

As we celebrate 25 years of Silver Rose, we look forward to reflecting on the achievements of our movement and discuss what more needs to be done to ensure a just transition for all.

Register before 28 November!

Since the year 2000, SOLIDAR has organised the Silver Rose Awards, the award for progressive civil society, with the support of FEPS, the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament (S&D), and the Party of European Socialists (PES).
