Caricamento Eventi

The event, organised by the Institute of International Relations (IRMO  ) and OBCT in partnership with Agitate!  aims at disseminating the research findings of the TraPoCO Jean Monnet Network. Transnational Political Contention in Europe, targeting think tanks, the academia, and NGO practitioners, as well as local civil society organizations, policy-makers and other stakeholders.

The event will focus on the Western Balkans migration route, which has been largely crossed since the 2015 long summer of migration by people on the move striving to access the territory of the European Union to lodge an asylum claim.

Taking into account the research and experience in the field, the meeting will discuss the capacity of European civil society actors to challenge the EU border policies from below, their efforts to propose alternative narratives on migration, their joint work to build a European political space of solidarity, and their idea of care in a transnational context as well as the opportunities and limitations offered by the European space to build a Europe of solidarity from below.

The meeting will benefit from the exchange between researchers and human rights activists engaged in supporting people on the move and denouncing the violation of human rights at the borders of the EU.

The event will be held in person at Roda / Rodino   (Gnijezdo, Žerjavićeva 10, Zagreb). It is also possible to watch the event live by clicking on this Zoom link  .
