Summer is over, Newropeans’ are back

A month-long summer break has re-generated our Newropeans’ salamanders, who are now back to their activities, with new ideas and new will to change Europe. Starting these days, the party members will show up in Europe’s streets, distributing leaflets, more information about \Newropeans and asking questions about Europe and the citizens’ idea of it.

We need you

Do you want to help us building a future for a democratic Europe? You can do it, also without entering the party. You can, for exemple, tell your friends about us; you can help our local networks to spread the word (also distributing leaflets, for exemple); you can give us your ideas about Europe; you can donate any amount for the party or any specific activity done by us. For example, the Marathon, which is very important to re-launch the debate about Europe.

From Luxembourg to Cambridge… a hot september for Newropeans

Newropeans shows out in Luxemburg, during the first days of this month. Franck Biancheri meets the citizens of the Grand Duchy before travelling to Bonn and Cologne to keep on his meeting with European citizens and Newropeans supporters. On October 8th, he is invited by the Cambridge University Student European Union Society to debate the question of EU democratisation and to present Newropeans. By the way, remember that 2007 is the 20th anniversary of Erasmus, and Franck Biancheri was one of the main figures contributing to the launch of the popular students’ exchange program. If you want him to talk in your University, contact us: erasmus20@newropeans.eu

Wroclaw is hosting the Newropeans’ Network Conference

Wroclaw is going to host, on September 29th, the 4th Newropeans’ Network Management Conference. Newropeans’ members will convene in the Polish city to discuss about how to better organize the movement, to make it stronger and to prepare it for 2009 European elections. Remember: Newropeans lives of a day-by-day on-line debate, through its intranet, and holds four meeting every year: two NMCs, and two Agoras, where we debate on the political agenda and the electoral program. The next Agora will be in Madrid, in December.

A more diverse leadership for Newropeans

Newropeans has a new, larger Executive Committee, with clear roles defined for every member of it. The party’s new leadership got the approval by the members, who voted electronically, through our intranet system. In the list, most of the previous members of the Executive Committee are going for a new round of volunteer activism, and as many newcomers are joining them, doubling the size of Newropeans leadership. The 24 members strong Committee is now mixing in equal proportion people from the age of 40-50, 30-40 and 20-30. New member states are now largely represented as well. The new Newropeans leading team is definitely starting to look like the EU, diverse in ages, cultures, professions, languages, … but with a clear common goal : democratizing the EU by getting the first trans-European political movement into the European Parliament in June 2009!

A new social and economic policy for Europe

Newropeans’ members are going to adopt a new point in our program: the social and economic European policy. Not an easy point, as it’s a hot debate all around Europe. But we come out with several new ideas. The whole of it has been debated during Newropeans’ summer Agora, in Koszeg (Hungary), and the discussion goes on through our intranet until final approval, as always, by all our members through an electronic vote. In the same way, we already adopted several other points, like immigration, education, foreign policy… Find our program here

« L’amour en Europe »: to be read on Newropeans Magazine

Franck Biancheri wrote, a few years ago, about love: the founder of the first European students’ association (Aegee), now founder and president of the first trans-European party (Newropeans) gives some precious suggestion to build up a successful trans-European love story. And… well, if it doesn’t work, you can still take it positively. How? Read it (in French) on Newropeans Magazine
