SUMMARY:Webinar - Romania - Scoala Nationala de Studii Politice si Administrative - Liliana Rodrigues
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The FMA and the National School of Political and Administrative Studies (SNSPA) co-organised an EP to Campus lecture on the topic “European Political Community: the missing voice(s)”. The speaker was Liliana Rodrigues.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On May 16\, 2023\, the Faculty of Political Sciences together with the European Parliament Former Members Association organized a hybrid debate addressed to students\, within the EP to Campus program initiative. \nThe guest was Mrs. Liliana Rodrigues\, member of the European Parliament in the period 2014-2019\, with a rich activity in the parliamentary committees “Culture and education”\, “Regional development”\, “Human rights”. The title of her address was “European Political Community\, Democracy and Development”\, an extremely current and interesting topic in the context of the second meeting of the European Political Community which will take place on June 1\, 2023 in Chisinau\, in the Republic of Moldova. \nWe had (online and in class) students from various master’s programs belonging to two different structures of SNSPA. It is about students enrolled in specializations in the area of Political Sciences and in the area of International Relations\, as we aim to encourage interdisciplinary debates between our university students\, and to investigate a topical issue from several theoretical and practical perspectives in order to maximize the quality of the analysis and of its results. \nThe topic we chose is that of the European Political Community (EPC)\, because it represents a real interest for all the selected programmes. Taking into consideration the current EPC agenda\, we consider that the role of the European Parliament and its representativeness towards people’s interests are fundamental to create a democratic and efficient\, therefore legitimate\, EPC. We are glad that such a debate benefited from the point of view of an MEP in order to find out how political figures related to the European Parliament itself see its possible involvement in this EPC project. In this respect\, our guest speaker presented a peculiar aspect that is both related to EPC and to the EU\, within the Democracy and Development context\, and that is the cohesion policy. \nMrs. Rodrigues conclusions pointed that „creating a European Political Community may be a possibility to overcome asymmetries in the EU and promote greater political and social integration among member states. However\, this will require continuous commitment to citizen participation\, transparency\, and accountability to ensure that democratic systems are effective in promoting resilience and cohesion in the EU. (…) Citizen participation is one of the fundamental pillars of democracy and should be encouraged in all spheres of society\, including in the political sphere and in the development of EU public policies”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”24974″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/shorts/X9yyv1TUENs”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nStudent Georgiana Horobeanur from the SNSPA in Romania talks about the EP to Campus programme with former MEP Liliana Rodrigues. \nOther testimonials are available here. \n [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Webinar – UKRAINE – APREI and Zaporizhzhia National University – Marek Siwiec
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On May 30\, 2023 \, the FMA and the APREI and Zaporizhzhia National University co-organised an online EP to Campus lecture with the MEP Marek Siwiec on the subject “The EU’s Diplomatic power and limits in response to war in Ukraine”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”24784″ img_size=”medium”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0ZBe-ah0m8&list=PL6Hp_Smng9nAAA06YGFQcQOMTHMvjzH2d&index=5″][vc_column_text] \nTestimonial by student Kateryna Bobrysheva of the APREI and Zaporizhzhia National University in Ukraine about the EP to Campus programme with former MEP Marek Siwiec.\nMore testimonials can be found here. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Traditionally seen as a principal substitute for the use of force and the ultimate way to peace and reconciliation\, diplomacy’s significance in times of war could not be underestimated. Ever since the outbreak of Russia’s brutal aggression against Ukraine\, the EU diplomacy has conveyed powerful messages in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Through diplomatic efforts\, the EU has provided Ukraine with humanitarian\, political\, financial\, and military aid\, has built strong pro-Ukrainian coalitions and sustained the passivity of potentially hostile powers. A wide range of passages\, from protest to menace\, dialogue to negotiations\, ultimatum to reprisal\, has been applied to curtail the aggressor’s ability to wage war. \nThe roundtable discussion has cover a variety of activities implemented by the EU in the field of public\, economic\, energy\, cultural and other types of diplomacy not only to give justice to the EU’s unprecedented support of Ukraine\, but also to question the diplomacy’s limits and potential blind spots with regard to the war’s origins and initial phase (the occupation of Crimea and Donbass region by Russia in 2014). \nGuest speaker: Marek SIWIEC\, Vice-President of the European Parliament (2007-2009)\, Member of the European Parliament (2004-2014) \nTarget group: Bachelor\, Master and PhD students\, early-stage researchers\, teaching staff\, general public \nWorking language: English[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
