On 21st November OBC invites you to Rovereto, Italy, for the special event TRANSEUROPE. Civil society networks. Celebrating OBC 's 15 birthday, an international conference aims to foster public debate on the state of today's Europe, starting from some of the key challenges our continent is facing. The exodus of refugees along the "Balkan route", armed conflicts and international interventions, threats to the freedom of information: all these issues bring the Balkans, Turkey and the wider post-Soviet space, from Ukraine to the Caucasus back at the centre of the spotlight.
Two plenary sessions and three parallel workshops will allow citizens to engage in a dialogue with journalists from 13 European countries, as well as with experts, scholars, politicians, and international diplomats. Several questions are up to debate, with a common thread: what can possibly be the contribution of civil society networks in overcoming the complex challenges Europe is faced with?
