SUMMARY:Stories of Brexit campaign action day
DESCRIPTION:This Brexit deal has hit our people\, our communities\, and our economy hard. People like Willa\, the businesswoman worried about future trade with Europe; Andrew\, the farmer worried about his farm; and Sophia\, a classical musician unable to ply her trade. If we want to turn the tide and start building back what we lost\, now is the time to start making some noise.  \nIt is time to take action. There are simple things\, small changes that the government could make right now to make people’s lives easier. \nWe are asking you to join us on Friday 21st May 2021 for our online day of action to help us to make these changes a reality.

SUMMARY:Celebration of Europe Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Europe Day echoes our founder Robert Schuman’s appeal of May 9\, 1950: ‘Europe will not be made all at once\, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity.’\nWe believe highlighting and celebrating all the various pan European efforts and achievements to make our continent a more inclusive\, more democratic\, more culturally aware\, better place to live\, is a contemporary translation of Schuman’s appeal.\nWe will be launching a dedicated website soon for you to join us in celebrating Europe Day through featured live-streamed discussions and content from European changemakers\, presentations of artists\, thinkers and doers\, amongst our grantees and friends.

SUMMARY:Europe Day Concert 2021
DESCRIPTION:We celebrate Portugal\, currently holding the Presidency of the EU Council. We also pay homage to The Divine Comedy of Dante\, whose 700th anniversary we mark this year. Top Portuguese lyric tenor Luis Gomes takes us from ‘Inferno’ – the word which begins an aria from Verdi’s opera Simon Boccanegra about the seafaring Genovese people – to ‘Purgatorio’ in the possibility of exile envisaged by Benjamin Godard’s Dante in an operatic rarity of 1890\, and finally heavenwards with da Gama’s ‘O paradis’ in Meyerbeer’s L’Africaine. \nOrchestrally\, we celebrate a hunt through fantastical woods in the ‘All’Ouvertura’ from Sibelius’s second set of Scènes Historiques\, then ocean journeys in Mendelssohn’s Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage and the poignant quotation of it in Elgar’s thirteenth ‘Enigma Variation’\, plus a rarity – the UK premiere of 99-year-old Estonian composer Ester Mägi’s The Sea. A train ride is succinctly and humorously etched in a Johann Strauss polka\, and locomotive loving Dvořák evokes the other side of the pond in the finale of his Ninth Symphony\, ‘From the New World’. The outstanding performances of Jonathan Bloxham and his Northern Chords Festival Orchestra of young and established professionals in the past three Europe Day Concerts guarantee a concert of the highest order.

SUMMARY:Delivery Workers in the Platform Economy
DESCRIPTION:Europe depends on workers moving. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed vulnerabilities of these workers that preexisted the health crisis: mobile workers are more at risk of exploitation\, less likely to be well represented by trade unions and national authorities\, and have many specific needs when it comes to information\, to social protection and access to health services\, to secure housing and the possibility of crossing borders to care for their families.  Now it is time to move on from precarious Europe.  The EU Social Summit in Porto will be an important occasion for the European Union to commit to building a Europe in which no one falls between the gaps.\nEuropean Alternatives and Another Europe Is Possible gather together migrant workers\, workers’ collectives\, trade unions and NGOs fighting for the rights of migrant workers from inside and outside the EU.\nTogether we not only want to articulate problems and demands\, but also formulate policy recommendations to strengthen the rights of migrant workers.\nJoin our online event series to draft our open letter to the EU Commission.
