Programme call for the first European Summer University

“Another Europe for another World!”
- Attacies, get to know each other!

In the summer of 2008, for the very first time, there will be a European Attac Summer University! This offers a great opportunity to learn from each other and to develop strategies for a different Europe, a different world. The European Summer University is an important step to strengthen the social movements in Europe.

The ESU has ambitious goals – it aims to drastically increase the level of cooperation between different Attac groups and local groups, and bring about new Attac policies, joint campaigns, new networks, and new friendships. This is a huge challenge, and since we are planning such an European-wide event for the first time, we need the support from all Attac groups to make it a success.

The ESU will take place between the 1st to 6th August 2008 and will be staged at the University of Saarbruecken in Germany, where we will have an ideal infrastructure at our disposal. The host Attac Saar has declared its willingness to organise the event together with local partners and in collaboration with a German
preparation team and a European working group responsible for the programme.

We estimate a total of 1,000 participants at this first ESU. Already almost all European groups of Attac declared that they will participate in the European Summer University 2008! Confirmed so far are: Belgium, France, Italy, Norway, Austria, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland. During the coming months we hope that even more countries will join in actively. We are looking forward to receiving your support, your ideas and suggestions!

Best wishes from the European preparation group!
