Don’t give up on New Social Europe!
The European social model needs to be renovated but its bases must be preserved. While we debate the reform of the European social model, we need to also debate the reform of globalisation. This includes, for example, the need for national and international redistribution and the need to stop the race to the bottom, both in taxes (so that states can afford good education and welfare for everyone) by initiating an international tax-cooperation, and in social standards by starting international cooperation to raise them.
We need concrete measures to ensure globalisation is politically controlled, such as a single EU representation in international financial institutions, the establishment of a UN Economic Security Council, and an efficient control over tax havens

(I'm Lewis Miller,
16 year old, a member of various organisations involving young
people politically in Scotland such as the Scottish Youth
Parliament and I enjoy trying to enthuse young peple in politics)
As a very politically aware young person in Scotland it seems to me like the our society losing sight of what it means to be a person and what it means to be a human being.
I think, and many others amoungst me think, that our society needs to uphold the values we were tought at a young age, we need to look at achieving goals that sound simple and yet are very rewarding. What a lot of young people (particualrly on the left) want is a society where people are cared for, we want to see Europe become a place where countires can support each other and where the poorest people can be helped. When we are only bairns we are told to share our food, we are told to look after each otehr, and so many of us forget that this is what society expects of us, and I think that the older politicians ought to remember seeing the world this way and never forget what society really stands for.
"But what should be our priorities for 2009-14?" Was the first question asked by the website. I think we should have a simple goal, to work towards creating a more equal, a more caring and a more enriched society. We should do...

L'Europe a développer des programmes et des actions fortes en direction de la jeunnesse. Le programme ERASMUS est un axe for de cette politique.
Au coeur de l'enjeu,
la mobilité... pour se rencontrer, pour découvrir cultures et
références européennes pour faire vivre notre diversité qui est
une richesse.
Le Service volontaire européen (SVE) est un comlément important de ce travail. Il contribue à la découverte de l'Europe, la réelle afformation d'un sentiment d'appartenance, la volonté de construire un destin commun.
Mais ces dispositif restent encore réservés à une certaines élite, scolarisée et qui socialement et économiquement a les moyens de financer ses engagements.
La reconnaissance comme membre d'une même communauté ne doit pas être subordée aux moyens financiers des familles ! L'universalité de ces dispositifs doit être renforcée par des aides comlémentaires en fonction des revenus des familles, par de réelles campagnes d'incitation dans les écoles.
Pourquoi ne pas imaginer des journées de l'engagement européens...

Thinking about the
next post of the blog – I was actually trying to remind myself
what is that people enjoy reading. Coming from the political
school of manifesto: ‘others want to see true intentions that
inspired you at the first place, to be also inspired’, I decided
to use one of my very peculiar interests while traveling;… women
magazines. From cover to cover – scanning all the pictures,
trying to get empathy for the authors of ‘letters to editor’,
looking at some clothes that are not only strange but absolutely
unaffordable for a regular employee… But above all the most
exciting and the most interesting is what the knowledge these
colorful pages give; the portrait of a woman of today. The last
time I did that reading I discovered something absolutely
disturbing; women of my own age (around 30) are the group with
the highest risk of the heart attacks. Even more terrible, most
of us had already some mini-version ones without noticing that
even!
It has been shocking to discover, but on the other hand looking
at the recent publication of the European Commission "Report on equality between women and men –
2008"...

Not a long time ago,
by November 2007, ECOSY celebrated its 15 years anniversary. For that
occasion we asked our members why they joined the movement. Among
many answers the leading one was undoubtedly: because I wanted to
make a difference, because I wanted to change… Naïve? I would not
say so – I’d rather claim ‘refreshing to remember’, inspiring!
Now “New” usually stands for something that is different from
everything we know, that can give a potential hope – which is why
the "New Social Europe" seem to be the hope to
re-boost the discussion on what is the absolutely unique project
of Socialists and Social Democrats for Europe.
We know that the world has changed – we read that in every paper,
together with acknowledgements of all the threats that not only
hide in every corner, but even enter our houses; like
globalization that we voluntarily participate in each day when
switching the TV on. Everything is unstable, insecure,
questionable – and Superman or Spiderman seem up to date enough
to save us.
I am convinced that instead of a bunch of Armageddon tricks, we
need a vision that appeals to people,...

I write rarely about Poland – as a Secretary General of a
European Organization. But as I have also never written a blog
before I have decided to make an exception. Especially that the
issue below remains at the heart of the manifesto debate on
New Social Europe and “how to reach a New
Social Europe for everyone and everywhere?"
There are few Easter traditions Polish cultivated up till today.
One of them is the tradition of hand-painted Eggs, and another of
“Wet Monday” when Polish are sprinkling water on one another. The
wetter you get, the more popular you are – says ancient
tradition. Both customs seem to have reached a new political
dimension; just before Easter Polish got their very own “Kinder
Surprise” hand-made by the Kaczynski Brothers colored in national
white and red, indicating the popularity to wash away in a
Niagara Falls of words like ‘never’, ‘scandal’,
‘forever’ the Lisbon Treaty.
Polish representatives, negotiating the Lisbon Treaty, made a lot of promises in the media. As a nation, educated in school by romantic literature, we like symbols underlined by a little drama. This is why it is in our political DNA to tear our clothes apart and claim that ‘we will die if…’ as in the negotiations;...

On the 21st century
education has become an inevitable tool for a personal and national
success. European Union aims to be the most competitive
knowledge-based economy in the world. That requires investing in
education and training as well as in research and development.
Investing in education is investing in the future, both in personal
and in macro level.Publié jeudi 1 novembre 2007 à 00h18

What do young Europeans think should be in the PES manifesto? Around 40 activists from the Danish Social Democratic Youth gave their take on Europe’s future at yesterday’s manifesto work groups in Brussels. We asked them what they considered the most important priorities for the theme New Social Europe:
Ritu Madsen, Denmark, business school student
“I think rights to the childcare should be in the PES manifesto. I didn’t think about it before coming to this meeting, because we have good opportunities for childcare in my home country. Now I understand that this is not the case in all European countries.”
Sidsel Andersen, Denmark, secondary school student
“It is important to create good opportunities to combine work and family life, for example better possibilities for parents to bring...
