Organising Freedom

About the event  

The project Organising Freedom gathers organisational leaders from European liberal organisations in a series of events. The aim is to share and learn from each other’s organisational practices and experiences.  

This edition of our conference aims to gather organisational leaders from varying European parties and think tanks to share and learn from each other how to adapt to the changing nature of political engagement in the 21st century. 

Programme

Session 1: “The Greta-Effect” 
How is political engagement among young people expressed today? Who is engaged, what do they do, and how is this changing? What does meaningful activism look like in today’s political climate?  

Session 2: What’s the point? 
How do we, as liberals, engage marginalised groups – the people who really have the most to win by getting involved? How do we transform politics from a hobby for the elite? 

Session 3: What do people gain by getting involved in value-driven organisations? 
Why does someone become a member/supporter of your organisation? Why do they stay? Why do they decide to get organised, and what drives them? 

Workshop 1: Liberal Activism 
Workshop 2: Fundraising to create engagement
