 +==== Flight to Europe – The Mediterranean Sea and Human Rights (13.9.2018) ==== 
 + 
 +Still thousands of people die in the Mediterranean sea. Several NGOs do their best to rescue as many people as possible. But instead of thanking them, politics renders them a plaything: Those who rescue people do not discourage them. Those who rescue people do not defend Fortress Europe. 
 + 
 +In a presentation,​ Erik Marquardt describes the situation on the high seas and elsewhere: Where do these people come from? Why do so many people board unseaworthy ships? And what is the situation like on the other exodus routes?

 +==== Social fundamental rights in Europe! And in Austria? (14.9.2018) ==== 
 + 
 +Event by arbeit_plus,​ Forum WLH Wohnungslosenhilfe & Lebenshilfe Salzburg 
 + 
 +As a stimulus for the EU-council meeting on September 20th 2018, we prepare topics for the further development of the European Union as a social and educational union and discuss the European Pillars of Social Rights, even though they have been disregarded by the Austrian presidency of the European Council. This especially concerns the importance of social fundamental rights such as the right to work, inclusion, social security and equal treatment. From Brussels, EU delegates Joe Weidenholzer (SPÖ) and Michel Reimon (Grüne), as well als Freek Spinnewijn (FEANTSA) will participate. 
 + 
 +In the European Social Charter nuanced guiding principles and laws have been worked out, which have also been ratified by Austria. However, Austria has excluded individual clauses. Hence, Austria denies people suable individual rights such as the right to work, the right to be protected from poverty, exclusion and homelessness and the right to housing. 
 + 
 +These topics, of fundamental importance for a social society, are taken up in three dimensions of the European Pillars of Social Rights, which have been published by the EU-comission and the EU-parliament in November 2017 as a memorandum. 
 + 
 +Those three dimensions are: 
 +Equal opportunities and access to the job market 
 +Fair working conditions 
 +Social security and social inclusion 
 + 
 +What does that mean for Salzburg and Austria? 
 + 
 +We want to establish the connection between the choice of topics and the intensity of their treatment on the European level and the national reality of cuts in social services, the undermining of labor laws, the gender pay gap etc. Thus we want to open up new vistas – those of bottom-up processes concerning politics and public – based on the motto: we tackle issues that are important for all of us. 
 + 
 +In a world café we discuss the right to work (Peter Ruhmannseder / Judith Pühringer),​ the right to housing (Heinz Schoibl), inclusion (Karin Astegger) as well as equal treatment (Frauenrat Salzburg). Based on the “Gemeinwohlökonomie” (economy for the common good) we will come up with suggestions for social, ecological and solidary politics. The programme will be accompanied by readings from author Petra Nagenkögel.

 +==== Connecting resistance – developing common answers (15.9.2018) ==== 
 + 
 +Event by “Aufbruch” - start for a democratic, solidary and ecological Europe! 
 + 
 +On July 1st 2018, the Austrian government took over the presidency of the EU-council. Chaired by the Austrian government a summit of European leaders takes place in Salzburg on September 20th. The Austrian ÖVP-FPÖ government is working on full-scales offensives against social and democratic achievements. Its neoliberal and antidemocratic plans fit in with the policies of the European Union, solely based on economic interests. In the interest of big companies and financial capital the EU tries, in cooperation with the national governments,​ to prolong working times, to increase competition among the working population and to re-design social insurances in a way, so that they become a profitable investment for financial companies. Such politics knowingly accepts further destruction of the environment in Europe and elsewhere in the world.

 +==== Shaping a democratic food policy – the path to food sovereignity (16.9.2018) ==== 
 + 
 +Event by “System Change, not Climate Change” 
 + 
 +It is often suggested that by making good choices when buying in supermarkets we can support a good food economy. However, this does not touch the general framework, which encompasses land-grabbing,​ corporate power and exploitation. The predominant food economy increasingly undermines the human right to nutrition. A real alternative is the movement for food sovereignty,​ in which consumers and producers cooperate. 
 + 
 +In our presentation we debate the consequences of free trade and the common agricultural policy of the European union and point out, how food sovereignty here offers possible solutions. In the last part of the event, we would like to invite the audience to think how they can cooperatively participate in the shaping of a democratic food policy.

 +==== Women’s rights are human rights … in a Europe that protects (17.9.2018) ==== 
 + 
 +Event by Frauen*Volksbegehren and Frauenrat Salzburg 
 + 
 +The Vagina Monologues (scenic reading): humorous, serious, profound and feminist – Vaginas narrate of fates, of the search for the female identity, of love and passion, of disappointment and violence. Text by Eve Ensler, artistic direction Judith Valerie Engel and Gertraud Steinkogler-Wurzinger. 
 + 
 +Discussion with Monika Vana (EU-parliament delegate). A current study by the EU shows a significant backlash. Gender mainstreaming gets increasingly constrained. Especially such areas as education, health and prevention of violence are affected. Who does suffer from these restrictions?​ What are the causes? How can politics counteract such developments?​

 +==== Europe – Civil Power in combat dress? ==== 
 + 
 +Event by the Friedensbüro Salzburg. Co-organiser:​ ÖH Salzburg, Südwind Salzburg, JBZ, Internationaler Versöhungsbund 
 + 
 +The Peace and Securities of the European Union are ambivalent in their public perception: On the one hand, it is a historic project of peace which has been awarded with the Nobel Peace Price. On the other hand, it is a global player competing for the title of “armament world champion”,​ driven by the interests of hegemony and the armament lobby. Where are European peace policies headed and which role do national and international initiatives for peace and disarmament play? 
 + 
 +**Speakers**:​ 
 +  * Ottfried Nassauer, Information centre for transatlantic security, Berlin 
 +  * Thomas Roithner, Peace researcher, private lecturer at the University of Vienna

 + 
 +==== Solidarity with migrants on high seas (19.09.2018) ==== 
 + 
 +Watch the Med Alarm Phone is a project which was founded by activists from Europe and North Africa in 2014. The self-organised call-center for refugees who are in distress at sea should ensure a safe rescue and prevent human right violations such as pushbacks. 
 + 
 +At that, those in distress get a second chance to make their call for help heard by sea rescue. Each emergency is recorded and publicly accompanied till safe rescue. If necessary, further support is drummed up. Thereby pressure is exerted on those responsible,​ at least as far as possible. 
 + 
 +**Speakers** 
 +  * Activists of the Alarm Phone Team Munich

 +  * **When**: Wednesday, 19.9.2018, 17.00 - 18.30
