EAs first Member General Assembly – 27.10 in Berlin!
DON’T MISS THE FIRST ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
OF EUROPEAN ALTERNATIVES MEMBERS
JOIN US ON OCTOBER 27 IN BERLIN!
October is a full month for all Transeuropeans!
The Transeuropa Festival started successfully with the air time opening performance performed synchronously in 10 cities across Europe, and we are now heading towards the Transeuropa Forum which will take place in Berlin on October 25 and October 26. The Air time performance and the presentation of the Citizens Manifesto will be the highlights of this Forum together with workshops, unconference, and of course a Transeuropean party!
But for European Alternatives, the end of the Festival is also a great opportunity to convene its first Annual General Meeting (AGM) of all members!
The first AGM of European Alternatives members will take place in Berlin on October 27th from 12pm to 5.30pm and will be the opportunity for all members to gather after the Festival and the final forum in order to discuss as many things as the recent governance reform, the budget, the transnational activities and projects, etc. The main focus of this AGM will be EA’s orientation and priorities for the coming years! EA is committed to give its members the opportunity to have their say in the future of the organization and is looking forward to listening to, and discuss, the inputs given by all members! In addition to this, for those interested, EA organises 4 parallel workshops on local groups, transnational projects, the Cooperative, and local group activities. Everything you always wanted to know about EA and to discuss with other members will be in your hands during the AGM!
