FEPS and AKM Training Day
Pour ce Training Day nous réunirons, en collaboration avec la Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS), les jeunesses progressistes helvétiques et de toute l'Europe, pour aborder ensemble les relations politiques entre la Suisse et l'Union européenne. Un événement interactif qui développera en profondeur les questions des institutions de l'Union et des développements actuels de la politique européenne, tout en proposant un espace de discussion sur le rôle de la Suisse au sein du continent. Avec comme objectif de favoriser les échanges, de stimuler la réflexion politique et d'ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives pour un avenir européen progressiste.
Samedi, 04 octobre I 09:00 I Salle de conférence, Falkenplatz 11, Bern
The one-day workshop ‘Switzerland in the Heart of Europe – Training Day’ is aimed at young progressive political actors from across the EU, EFTA and from Switzerland. The goal is to provide knowledge about the institutions of the EU, current political developments in the EU, potential EU enlargements, and the relationship between EU and Switzerland.
On the evening before, we will host a cosy fireside chat with exciting guests on the topic, followed by dinner together.
The event will be held in English. Travel expenses within Switzerland will be reimbursed upon request.
