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
