EuroMeSCo Annual Conference 2019
The Policy Center for the New South is participating to EuroMeSCo Annual Conference 2019, through the speaking role of Abdelhak Bassou in the conference agenda held under the theme “Civil Society and Social Movements in the Euro-Mediterranean Region”. In 2018, the PCNS was partner to this annual conference which was held in Rabat under the theme “Changing Euro-Mediterranean Lenses”.
The EuroMeSCo annual conference will be held on 18-19 June in Barcelona under the title “Civil Society and Social Movements in the Euro-Mediterranean Region”.
Over the last years, a number of social movements hit the roads and/or the social networks in a number of Euro-Mediterranean countries, representing only the visible tip of broader and more complex dynamics of the civil society iceberg.
The 2019 EuroMeSCo Annual Conference will explore these social movements and civil society dynamics in a Euro-Mediterranean comparative perspective. It will also analyse how policy actors, at the local, national and regional level, including the European Union, have engaged in relation with these movements and organisations and assess the potential of civil society as a driving force of Euro-Mediterranean cooperation and integration.
The conference is organized by EuroMeSCo and the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed).
