The 2022 edition of TRANSEUROPA unfolds from three central themes that reflect on the most urgent challenges we are facing today: Decolonize, Decarbonise, Democratize. Our curatorial theme focuses on the combination of scientific and technical knowledge but also on holistic and artistic practices that facilitate the creation of collaborative alliances across our interconnected world. Curated collectively and taking into account a plurality of local and international voices, our programme actively participates in deconstructing spaces of oppression and works in building spaces of freedom and imagination to construct viable and long-term alternatives.
No to War in Europe! This is not a simple slogan, but an appeal to take action. As the confrontations at the Ukrainian-Russian border intesify, not only political leaders, but also actors of the civic society, should raise their voice and take a firm stand against nationalism and the threat of war. Read what our authors write about it.
The Online Handbook for Transnational Activists is a publication focused on theory and practice of transnational struggles for equality and justice in the past, the present, and the future. Originally, a book publication was envisaged, but more recent considerations due to the Covid-19 pandemic have led us to consider an online publication. The objective is to create an educational platform based on the contributions planned so far, including articles, interviews, videos, photo stories, infographics, methodological tools, and other resources.

This report offers insights into the legal vacuum of EU labour and social policy in three sectors which may exhibit some innovative practices but depend above all on a significant number of migrant workers: platform work, care work and agricultural work.

Civil society in Europe and its attitudes towards the European project have changed dramatically in the past decade of multiple crises. This study mapped, tracked and monitored developments in European civil society over a two-year period, revealing the nature and implications of these changes.
This report is the account of the four conferences held over the course of 2020 as part of the initiative From the Sea to the City, involving EU representatives, city represenatives, mayors and civil society to promote a progressive change in the EU migration policy.
Workers Without Borders advocates for the European Institutions to do more to protect the rights of workers who move. In particular, it calls on the newly established European Labour Authority (ELA) to take initiative in to protect the rights of young workers and people in precarious forms of employment. In 2020 and 2021 we are publishing a series of reports with key recommendations to the ELA.
