The Europe Talks Solidarity Conference will offer a space for a dialogue around the understanding of solidarity and its connection to active participation in democratic life in Europe.

The second residential edition of Europe Talks Solidarity will bring together experts that will deepen the understanding of the potential of solidarity in the past, present and future and its value for democracy. The event will offer an overview about solidarity in the youth field. It will present different perspectives of solidarity by providing external experts to provoke critical thinking around the understanding of solidarity and by offering a space for open dialogue. A part of the program will be dedicated to share the experience and expertise of participants. The topic of solidarity is also very closely connected with the topic of participation in democratic life, as well as social and civic engagement through formal or non-formal learning activities. Therefore, the focus of the event will be to increase awareness and better understanding of the EU's common values, such as human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality and human rights.

The Conference is organised by the Youth sector withing the framework of the European Solidarity Corps Programme. However the topic is cross sectoral and applicants from the education and training field are welcome.
