SUMMARY:Seminar: The Role of Families in achieving the Circular Economy
DESCRIPTION:14 May 2019 \n09.30-11.30  \nVenue: Room JDE 51 \nEuropean Economic and Social Committee \nRue Belliard 99\, 1040 Brussels \nIt is a pleasure to invite you to the seminar on “the Role of Families in achieving the Circular Economy” that Make Mothers Matter is organising in partnership with the European Economic and Social Committee on the occasion of the International Day of Families. \nAs the Behavioural Study on Consumers’ Engagement in the Circular Economy recently published by the European Commission 2018 points out\, consumer participation on the Circular Economy has received little attention until now. Thus to move towards a Circular Economy\, the consumption/ demand side needs to be well understood and studied. Consumers play a pivotal role in transitioning to a circular economy. \nAt this conference we want to explore how families can be better integrated and considered on the circular economy. We will bring together different experts and stakeholders at various levels of action\, from policy-makers to community-led initiatives combining a top down and bottom up approach. The aim is to exchange and build a constructive dialogue among different actors of sustainable development in Europe. \nWe will analyse how our society can achieve economic progress by including measures of social inclusion\, equal opportunities and justice\, and how families can be supported in order to contribute in the transition to a more circular economy. \nThis event is an occasion for MMM to present how we are engaging families in the circular economy at the Horizon 2020 research project CIRC4life.  \nSpeakers \nLuca Jahier : EESC President\, \nHugo Schally : DG Environment European Commission\, \nEline Boon : Ellen MacArthur Foundation\, \nOlalla Michelena : Make Mothers Matter\, \nJörg Adamczewski : Zero Waste France \nPlease find more information on the agenda. \nPlease kindly register here and do not hesitate to forward this invitation to anybody that may be interested. \nIn order for you to get the accreditation needed to access the event\, please leave us the required information and bring your ID or passport with you on the 14th of May. \nFor any questions related to the event please contact us at europe@makemothersmatter.org \nLearn more about the EU Delegation of Make Mothers Matter by visiting our website

SUMMARY:#vote4friendship – Song for Europe"
DESCRIPTION:With a new version of a classic Queen song and high-profile advocates\, a music campaign is drumming up support for the European elections: in favour of the European ideal and against nationalism and marginalisation \nPan-European music project: Young artists from all 28 EU countries join forces to cover “Friends Will Be Friends” by Queen Video \nCampaign objective: for 50 NGOs from over 20 countries\, as the party-independent\, pro-European “Alliance4Europe”\, to mobilise additional three million non-voters to cast their votes in the elections on 23-26 May \nSupport from BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt\, Deutsche Post Foundation\, Mercator Stiftung\, DDB Warsaw\, Serviceplan Group\, European Front\, Agora\, CoInvest\, Pulse of Europe\, The Good Lobby\, Katapult Filmproduktion GmbH\, Mokoh Music GmbH\, Factor product\, Cities of Gdańsk and Warsaw and prominent advocates such as Christopher Clark\, Timothy Garton Ash\, Nick Stern\, Agnieszka Holland and Ulrich Wickert \nMunich\, 13.05.2019 – Just imagine\, it’s the European parliamentary elections – and only opponents of Europe turn up at the polls. Instead of waiting around to see what happens\, Alliance4Europe – an informal\, independent network of 50 civil society organisations and initiatives from 20 EU member states – is taking action now. On 13 May\, Alliance4Europe is sending out a strong musical appeal to the whole of Europe with the #vote4friendship campaign: 30 artists from 28 member countries are coming together to sing the Queen hit “Friends Will Be Friends”\, which the band made available royalty-free for this purpose. The collaborative music video will be released across Europe. Alliance4Europe’s campaign is primarily aimed at young EU citizens who take the achievements of the European Union for granted but\, for the most part\, do not go to the polls. The last time a new European Parliament was elected\, only 43.09 percent of all eligible voters actually cast their vote. \nA song for friendship and freedom – and against hatred and marginalisation \nThe focus of the campaign is a three-minute music video of the Queen song “Friends Will Be Friends” featuring 30 artists from 28 countries. As well as the musicians\, the video also features people from every European country who are coming together to stand for the campaign’s pro-European message. The participating performers\, including soul and funk artist Oceana from Germany\, Portuguese singer Virgul and Swedish alternative rockers Normandie\, are not only making a musical contribution\, but showing their commitment to the idea of a pan-European friendship in emotional video statements\, which they are actively sharing with their national and international fans and followers. \nFriends of Europe\, unite! \n#vote4friendship is aimed in particular at young Europeans who are meanwhile hard to reach with traditional campaigns and therefore more easily manipulated by targeted disinformation in the digital media. The campaign relies on the power of dialogue and is based on digital building blocks and formats that can be actively shared among civil society. A wide supporter network of European influencers\, prominent multipliers like\, Christopher Clark\, Timothy Garton Ash\, Nick Stern\, Agnieszka Holland\, Ulrich Wickert and organisations like the BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt\, Deutsche Post Foundation\, Mercator Stiftung\, DDB Warsaw\, Serviceplan Group\, European Front\, Agora\, CoInvest\, Pulse of Europe\, The Good Lobby\, Katapult Filmproduktion GmbH\, Mokoh Music GmbH\, Factor product\, Cities of Gdańsk and Warsaw shares a common interest: to strengthen the European idea across all borders from a cultural\, economic and living perspective. All campaign contents\, videos and statements are therefore available on the website vote4friendship.eu and alliance4europe.eu/resources to download and share on all social media channels and platforms. \nNo vote\, no voice \nOf all EU citizens who are eligible to vote in the European elections\, over half don’t. At the last elections for the European Parliament\, the voter turnout throughout Europe was 43.09 percent. “By staying silent\, millions of EU citizens\, who enjoy living in a united Europe and reap its benefits on a daily basis\, are opening the door to a radical minority that wants to jeopardise our Europe\,” says Sonja Stuchtey (47)\, initiator and managing director of Alliance4Europe. Founded in November 2018\, the NGO is opposing this with the Europe-wide omnichannel campaign #vote4friendship. Its aim is to break the silence of non-voters aged between 18 and 35 across Europe and to motivate at least three million of them to cast their vote. \nAbout Alliance4Europe \nAlliance4Europe was founded by entrepreneur Sonja Stuchtey together with 25 Europeans in November 2018. It represents an agile network of civil society groups and citizens in Europe who are committed to safeguarding the European Union and its values. The first milestone of the commitment of Alliance4Europe and all its many supporters\, partners and local participating organisations in all EU member states is simple: by uniting civil society in a common cause\, they want to reinforce the positive image of the European Union among young Europeans in the run-up to the elections for a new EU Parliament on 26 May 2019. In addition to the music video initiative\, via the newly created “Alliance EU Wiki” Alliance4Europe is also initiating and coordinating information campaigns\, bar camps\, panels and many other decentrally organised projects throughout the whole of Europe under the motto #vote4friendship. \nAfter the European elections\, Allianz4Europe will continue to support projects that encourage a dialogue in Europe. It promotes pro-European groups and organisations\, coordinates Europe-wide campaigns and\, with its extensive combined online reach\, enables the wide-reaching communication and sharing of best-practice projects and pro-EU narratives. \nAlliance4Europe is a non-profit organisation (gGmbH) without any political affiliations. \n
