The second EL Summer University, scheduled for July 11-15, 2007, will take place in Gosau, Austria. Around 200 participants from all over Europe – EL members, activists of the European Left, people interested in the EL – are invited to discuss the party’s policies.
It will be a unique opportunity for activists and experts of political parties and social movements to get together and talk outside the usual framework of international meetings. Under the slogan “Let’s learn from each other” workshops, seminars and round table discussions are organized.
The aim is to promote theoretical and political debate on the major issues of the construction of an alternative political left for Europe, a broad exchange of experience on political and social problems in Europe and the European countries.
Each day will be dedicated to one main issue. The proposed topics are:
- Left Concepts and ideas during the last 40 Years
- Sustainability – water
- Future of labour
A central point in the workshops will be the development of innovative communication strategies for political actions and campaigns, for a better mutual understanding of political parties and social movements.
Interpretation into 3 languages (English, French and German) will be available for the main speeches and for some seminars.
Each morning there will be the opportunity to take part in special excursions, linked to the general topic of the day.
