International Forum on Multilevel Governance

Events / Fri 10 Dec 2021

Through a joint initiative CIEMEN, Coppieters Foundation, and Fòrum Sobiranista propose an international training and capacitating seminar on different topics considering their relation with the European environment in a broad sense. The aim is to provide academic and formative resources to the attendees to promote debate, the exchange of ideas, and to generate shared knowledge around topics such as feminism, the management of linguistic diversity and of territorial conflicts, trade unionism, and the rise of the extreme right in a European and global framework.

The subjects treated will be specifically linked to the opportunities and limitations of the European institutional environment. Nonetheless, the topics will also be tackled through the different internal social realities of each nation, state, or people and how sovereignty must interact with these realities on a multilevel scale. To this end, speakers have been carefully selected so that through the combination of their debate it will be possible to generate useful communicative products that can serve as formative elements for the future.
