ECI Weekend

Avtor:

23-25 November 2018, Budapest

From Friday 23th to Sunday 25th November we will meet in Budapest to discuss the feasibility of a new European Citizenship Initiative (ECI), agree upon a subject text and plan first steps of an ECI campaign.

There are different proposals for the subject of a new ECI which we discussed before and at our Göteborg meeting in spring 2018. Due to scarce time resources we decided to held up a longer meeting to discuss more deeply the various approaches and different proposals for the subject of this ECI with the goal to find a consensus.

This meeting, hosted by the First Hungarian Unconditional Basic Income Association (FNA Egyesület), will start on Friday, 23rd November, at 6pm.

On Friday, 9am-4pm, we will organise a public conference (Basic Income in the 2019 European Elections) in cooperation with the Progressive Hungary Foundation (Megújuló Magyarországért Alapítvány).

If you have any questions concerning this event, please write to budapest2018@ubie.org.

Kind greetings on behalf of the UBIE Core Group and the organising team, Ulrich Schachtschneider
