Podiumsdiskussion:
Challenging Exclusion - New forms of Participation

European Alternatives’ FIRST BERLIN SALON

Werkstatt der Kulturen
Wissmannstraße 32
12049 Berlin
Berlin Brandenburg

Beschreibung:

In the wake of the economic crash, the disillusionment with existing political structures and systems has become increasingly apparent. Ever growing numbers of societal groups feel themselves excluded from the machinery of political practice in its present form. It does not follow however, that society has become apathetic as a result. Rather, activists and groups throughout Europe are finding ways of participating by new means. Through the internet, on single issues or with innovative collaborative projects, people are rejecting traditional politics and forms of activism in favour of new types of street level politics. In the process, new solutions and transnational solidarity are gaining currency.

In “Challenging Exclusion: New Forms of Participation”, a number of these developments will be explored. What is the new participation? How does it seek to challenge exclusion? And what is the relation of these forms of political activism to existing party structures and European institutions? European Alternatives seeks to recognize these new forms and discuss the future development in a political, social and cultural context.
