Online-Panel Discussion on October 6, 2020, with Gunther Krichbaum, Johannes Schraps, Renata Alt, Manuel Sarrazin und others.

The Eastern Partnership Summit in March 2021 will herald a new decade of the Eastern Partnership. The expec­ta­tions of the three associated countries, Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova, are corre­spond­ingly high. We would like to discuss with you the current status and perspec­tives for the Eastern Partnership.

Repre­sen­ta­tives of civil society from the three associated countries have discussed their views on the neces­sities for the Eastern Partnership together with the Center for Liberal Modernity and framed recom­men­da­tions for action for the coming years in three strategy papers. During the conference, the strategy papers will be presented and the perspec­tives of civil society in the associated countries will be reflected upon.

In the second part of the conference we wish to discuss the theses presented with members of the German Bundestag.

Regis­tration

The discussion will be live-streamed via Zoom with simul­ta­neous trans­lation (English-German). Please register under the following link https://bit.ly/2ExZ7gx
