Upcoming Events
We’re getting ready for a busy week at FEPS headquarters!

In the midst of the FEPS Bureau and Scientific Council meetings, we will launch the 5th edition of the Progressive Yearbook and announce FEPS Progressive Person of the Year.

Our survey results with fresh data on how young people facing disadvantage view democracy in Europe will be launched next Tuesday. Spaces are limited, but there is still time to join us.

We are also traveling to London, Vienna, Copenhagen, and Helsinki for joint events with FEPS national member foundations on exciting projects. Stay tuned!

Democracy in the face of disadvantage
23 January – FEPS HQ

Join us as we unveil the findings of an 18-month research project. We captured the perspectives of over 100 young people from disadvantaged backgrounds across five EU countries —🇭🇺 Hungary, 🇮🇪 Ireland, 🇫🇷 France, 🇵🇱 Poland, and 🇪🇸 Spain. Complemented by insights from over 50 experts in politics, youth work, and academia, the survey analyses young people’s attitudes toward democracy.

What needs to be done to integrate young people and protect democracy? We’ll explore this question alongside Fundacion Felipe González, Fondation Jean-Jaurès (FJJ), Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) and Szociális Demokráciáért Intézet.

PROGRESSIVE PAGE
By László Andor

The expansion of NATO in the Baltic region and the enlargement of the BRICS group are certainly among the most important ones which will remain with us. Another consequence, more discreet, but definitely creative and which could perhaps have even more significant fallout in the long run, has been the creation of the European Political Community (EPC).
