Agora Europe disembarks in the UK

It is a paradoxical time in which it is possible to create a transnational, European anti-Europe league, but seemingly impossible to create a pro-European one. Time to talk.

The aim of the Agora Europe Series on the European Political Space, already known to readers of openDemocracy, is to be a permanent and itinerant agora providing opportunities for public debate on the future of Europe, fostering an active and plural participation of citizens. Agora Europe will disembark in the UK with a double appointment: at University College London on October 29 with “Brexit and Migration” and at the University of Oxford on October 30 with “Brexit and Populism”.

These gatherings will be an occasion to talk about the future of Europe and the potential of each country to reorganize the European political space. Each speaker will talk about the European Union as a political and not merely economic union. Ensuing debate will address Brexit, migration, the history of European integration and populism. As an agora, the participation of the audience is essential. These events are therefore open to all citizens interested in discussing the future of Europe.
