This week, a not-so-classic 'girl meets boy' story. Başak Layic, storyteller extraordinaire, reflects on what the European Dream looks like from the outside.

In theory, the government's guy looks set to win Poland's presidential election, making life a hell of a lot easier for Donald Tusk as he attempts to undo eight years of destructive authoritarian rule under the previous rightwing populists. But might a pregnant nun swoop in and change everything at the last minute? For an explanation of this metaphor (and yes, it is just a metaphor), listen in to this week's great interview with Poland's best political YouTubers, Dominika Sitnicka and Agata Szczęśniak. We're also digging into Sweden's plans to crack down on porn influencers, and celebrating the sweeter side of last week's mass blackouts in Spain and Portugal. Dominika and Agata are reporters at OKO.PRESS and co-hosts of its YouTube show, Program Polityczny (which can be watched with English auto-subtitles). Thanks for listening.

The world is in flux. What's Europe's place in it, exactly? This week, we're bringing you something different: a big, sprawling conversation with leading European historian Timothy Garton Ash. Can anything good come from Trumpism for this continent? What can be done to stop autocrats like Viktor Orbán from undermining the EU from the inside? And does it matter if we talk about different things when we talk about Europe? Timothy is Professor of European Studies at the University of Oxford.

Are European leaders living in a Barbie-like dreamworld? This week, the idealised fantasy of the EU versus its awkward reality. Far from being a continent of grateful europhiles, a lot of people feel apathetic about the European project at best. Paweł Zerka joins us to discuss why non-white, young and Eastern Europeans feel especially left out of the EU, and what we can do to fix this. We're also joined by Deutsche Welle's Kate Laycock for a special guest edition of Good Week, Bad Week! We discuss how victory was snatched from the AfD in last weekend's state elections in Brandenburg, as well as the backlash against tax hikes on books in both Slovakia and the Netherlands.

The far-right surged but the centre held; somehow the two are true at once. Nearly 100 members of the new European Parliament have yet to tell us which political family they'll be joining. And as for who's actually going to be running the EU's institutions for the next five years – right now, it's anyone's guess. How can we make sense of these European elections? Alberto Alemmano joins us to help decipher a momentous, and very confusing, moment in Europe's democracy. Alberto is a professor of EU law at HEC in Paris and the College of Europe.

They're the second biggest elections on Earth. For the next four days, 373 million people are eligible to take part in the vote for the European Parliament.

What can other parts of the world learn from Ukraine, as it pioneers bringing acts of ecocide into the discussion of justice in the context of war?Ukraine is not only having to confront the destruction of human life and infrastructure caused by Russia's invasion but also having to deal with damage to the environment. The question of the environment is closely linked to that of justice. Ukraine is a pioneer in bringing the acts of ecocide into the discussion of justice in the context of war. The lessons of Ukraine are thus of vital importance to those parts of the world that suffer from environmental damage in the context of armed conflicts, climate breakdown, and other crises.An expert panel gathers at the RSA to foster public discussion and continued cooperation between organisations and individuals for an ongoing environmentally focused conversation about the consequences of Russia's war in Ukraine, situated in the context of wider environmental challenges faced globally.This event is held in partnership with the Ukrainian Institute London, the Delegation of Flanders (Embassy of Belgium) in the UK and Ireland, Finnish Institute in the UK and Ireland, the Cyprus High Commission and EUNIC London (European Union National Institutes for Culture).The event is made possible thanks to the financial support of the Culture of Solidarity Fund powered by the European Cultural Foundation.#RSAUILBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/ueembDonate to The RSA: https://utm.guru/udNNBFollow RSA Events on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thersaorg/Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theRSAorgLike RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theRSAorg/Listen to RSA Events podcasts: https://bit.ly/35EyQYUJoin our Fellowship: https://www.thersa.org/fellowship/join

What comes to mind when you imagine a library? Rows of books, probably. But across the continent, libraries are transforming into places that serve communities in all sorts of other ways. This week we hear from two very different libraries about how they're doing just that: Bojana Grujic of the Novi Sad City Library in Serbia and Myrto Tsilimpounidi from the Feminist Library at the Feminist Autonomous Centre in Athens. We're also talking about the fallout from Macron's trip to China, the international fight against Hungary's homophobic law, and the hallucinogenic adventures of early Europeans. Bojana and Myrto's libraries are taking part in the European Cultural Foundation's Europe Challenge. The hunt for new participants begins soon; keep an eye on the ECF's website for updates, or subscribe to their newsletter. This week's Isolation Inspiration: Birdsbesafe cat collars, available via the Royal Belgian League for the Protection of Birds, and 'The Shadow King' by Maaza Mengiste.

Blackcoffee podcast is back with a new series of Blackcoffee meets Europe, the winning project of the Culture of Solidarity Fund of the European Cultural Foundation. This final episode will take us to France, on a dialogue with a country which colonial past is worldly renowned. This will be an occasion to discuss French perspectives on decoloniality with an architect and geographer from Cameroon who's living and studying in France, at the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Paris. Who are the actors of decoloniality and France ? What are their means to survive the colonial and capitalistic modernity in France ? Is French decoloniality inclusive ? Which features does France share with Italy on coloniality and decoloniality ? How can these two countries mutually influence each other on this capital issue ?
Blackcoffee podcast is back with a new series of Blackcoffee meets Europe, the winning project of the Culture of Solidarity Fund of the European Cultural Foundation. On this second episode of the decolonial series, we move to Portugal, one of the most important European ex-colonial powers, to gain knowledge on the meanings given to decoloniality in the land of Pessoa. In the interview to Onésio Intumbo Ferreira, a Portuguese photographer and sociologist born and partly raised in Guinea Bissau, we will be talking about art and photography as a decolonial methodology. Radical decolonization implies the rehabilitation of ancient forms and the promotion of new forms of knowledge and the emergence of non-western solidarities among the subalterns. Memorial redress and indigenous epistemological representations are invoked to fight binary oppositions and hierarchies between the whites and the non-whites, the center and the periphery, those deemed superiors or inferiors.
Blackcoffee podcast is back with a new series of Blackcoffee meets Europe, the winning project of the Culture of Solidarity Fund of the European Cultural Foundation. On this first episode, we take an archivistic tour around the world to tackle the issue of decoloniality. Where does this movement come from and what can it offer to our societies across the globe ? Why do we need to talk about decoloniality today and what are the different methodologies originating from decolonial approaches ? We will be furnishing important elements to understand how the imperial and colonial domination have affected our contemporary society, both via power and knowledge. Additionally, we will be introducing the most important founding figures of the decolonial movement: Walter Mignolo from Argentina, Enrique Dussel from Mexico, Ramon Grosfoguel from Puerto Rico and Anibal Quijano from Peru.

Abbiamo iniziato l'avventura blackcoffee_pdc due anni fa nel bel mezzo della pandemia tra Londra e Milano, e oggi il podcast è di ritorno per una quinta stagione! Tra messaggi e chiamate, siamo riuscite a creare uno spazio di cui siamo molto fiere. Dopo una quarta stagione in cui abbiamo introdotto nuove rubriche attraverso nuove voci nell'ambito del progetto Blackcoffee_pdc meets Europe, tra i vincitori del bando della European Cultural Foundation, torniamo con contenuti, speriamo, sempre più interessanti e mirati. In questa nuova stagione, abbiamo incluso 4 nuove rubriche, nella prima parte di questa V Stagione nuove voci vi parleranno di salute mentale nelle comunità non bianche italiane, di libri scritti da autori neri. Vi aspettiamo domenica per scoprire la prima nuova rubrica ! Oltre alle 4 nuove rubriche del podcast, continuano le nostre chiacchierate del giovedì con persone che pensiamo abbiano esperienze di vita e professionali che meritano di essere condivise. Tra queste persone ci sono scrittor* artist*, attivist*. Vi aspettiamo il prossimo giovedì per scoprire con chi sarà la nostra prima conversazione di questa quinta stagione! Dopo una prima edizione riuscita l'anno scorso, il @blacknessfest torna per una seconda edizione il 23, 24 e 25 settembre 2022. Il festival vuole creare uno spazio di conversazione e confronto su tematiche che riguardano persone nere e non bianche italiane. Come l'anno scorso ci saranno tavole rotonde su argomenti a cui teniamo tra cui le varie sfumature della profilazione razziale e i suoi effetti sulla salute mentale o ancora la musica di cui ospiti del festival parleranno svelando il dietro le quinte dei loro generi musicali. Per saperne di più sul programma del festival, vi invitiamo a seguire la pagina del @blacknessfest! Vi aspettiamo numerosi alla seconda edizione!
Here comes the third and last episode of Exploring Black Europe with La Stanza di Kwanza (@lastanzadikwanza), one of the two sections of Blackcoffee_pdc Meets Europe project. We created this section as one of the Culture of Solidarity Fund recipients, an initiative created by the European Cultural Foundation (@europeanculturalfoundation). This section intends to explore the experiences of Black people in other European countries and exchange thoughts and antiracist practices. In today's episode, our host, Kwanza Musi Dos Santos, converses with the social worker and activist Alexa Santos. Hailing from Algarve in Portugal, Alexa defines herself as a Black woman (her mother is from Cape Verde, and her father is white Portuguese) who has been a feminist and LGBTQ+ activist since 2009. She is also part of INMUNE (Instituto da Mulher Negra), a space created by politician Joacine Katar Moreira to give space to black women from different backgrounds. #blackeuropean #afropean #portugal #blackarchives #blackconversations #blackeurope #podcast #europe

A whole bunch of plastic objects are about to become illegal across the European Union: everything from coffee stirrers to straws and cotton buds. As we count down to the big day on July 3, we're revisiting last year's special episode about how the EU is even able to make laws like this for 27 countries. This week we're asking: "How the hell do you make an EU law?" Originally released in February 2020, this episode was part of our mini-series Bursting the Bubble, an attempt to explain how EU institutions work in the least boring way possible.

Schon seit einigen Ausgaben legen wir ein besonderes Augenmerk auf internationale Perspektive. Heute stellen wir die Frage, was das Virus mit der Idee eines europäischen Kulturraums macht: Viele Grenzen sind geschlossen – da bietet es sich an, mit der Organisation zu sprechen, die einst das ERASMUS Programm erfunden hat: Der heutige Gast Philipp Dietachmair ist Head of Programmes bei der European Cultural Foundation in Amsterdam und wird uns berichten sprechen, wie Kulturarbeit in und für Europa in Zeiten von Corona aussehen kann. Dabei gibt er unter anderem Einblick in Überlegungen zu einem Fund for European Solidarity der European Cultural Foundation.

Andras Bozoki, Mary Kaldor, Alena Ivanova, and Quinsy Gario join Zoe Williams and Luke Cooper to discuss the thirty year anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain. As Europe looks ever more mired in nationalism, we ask: what's left of the hopes and dreams of the peaceful revolutions? How in retrospect do we understand the revolutions of 1989? And was there an alternative to the quick-fire turn to neoliberalism? We discuss this and more in a podcast that will be published in two parts. The event was recorded with a live audience in Amsterdam. The podcast is supported by the European Cultural Foundation as part of its Democracy Needs Imagination series.

But as the world of work transforms beyond recognition, is it only a matter of time before utopia becomes reality? Economist and financial journalist Stewart Lansley thinks so. He talks to hosts Zoe Williams and Luke Cooper about the case for a UBI. The European Cultural Foundation supports this initiative as it is rethinking Europe as an open and democratic space.

In this, the second part of our two part documentary The Forgotten Troubles, hosts Zoe Williams and Luke Cooper explore the contemporary politics of Northern Ireland and the extent to which the Good Friday Agreement makes it difficult to break out of sectarian division. They meet the Alliance Party on the campaign trail in the traditionally unionist area of Lagan Valley and ask whether it is possible or desirable to go 'beyond Orange and Green'. They explore the possible futures of the island of Ireland in the Brexit crisis, and the difficult challenges it faces. Featuring: Sorcha Eastwood, Alliance Party candidate for Lagan Valley, Katy Hayward, a sociologist at Queen's University Belfast, Garrett Carr, author of The Rule of the Land, and Mickey Brady, the Sinn Fein MP for Newry and South Armagh. Editing and mixing: Jamie Coward The documentary was produced in collaboration with Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung, Brussels Office. Funded by the German Federal Foreign Office.

Northern Ireland occupies a strange position within the Brexit debate. It is at once at the centre and at the periphery of the constitutional uncertainty and political crisis Brexit has created. Poorly understood in Britain even amongst the most well informed, the political future of those living on the island of Ireland has been thrown into huge doubt by the 2016 referendum. Hosts Zoe Williams and Luke Cooper went to Northern Ireland to understand how its troubled history shapes the present day. In this two part documentary they explain what they learnt. Part one looks at how the past reverberates into today and the on-going problem of sectarian division. Featuring: Katy Hayward, a sociologist at Queen's University Belfast, Garrett Carr, author of The Rule of the Land, and Mickey Brady, the Sinn Fein MP for Newry and South Armagh. Production and mixing: Jamie Coward The documentary was produced in collaboration with Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung, Brussels Office. Funded by the German Federal Foreign Office. The European Cultural Foundation supports this initiative as it is rethinking Europe as an open and democratic space.
For this special episode, we're taking you inside Herstedvester, a maximum-security prison in Denmark. Herstedvester houses prisoners with serious mental health issues, as well as those who are considered a danger to others. Lene Bech Sillesen went to meet some inmates who are facing a choice with drastic consequences. This is the first in our new series of original reported podcasts, Postcards from Europe, featuring intimate portraits of lives and places across the continent. It was made possible by the European Cultural Foundation, who support initiatives that rethink Europe as an open and democratic space. A note on this week's show: we do not explore the inmates' crimes in this episode. Our aim is not to vindicate them, but we want to show what life is like for Greenlandic prisoners in the Danish penal system. That said, if you or people close to you have been affected by serious crime in Greenland, you might want to skip this episode. Hosts: Dominic Kraemer and Katy Lee. Reporter and producer: Lene Bech Sillesen. Editor: Katz Laszlo. Voice actors: Peter Frederik Olsen and Vivi Nielsen.

The best thing that ever happened for organised crime was financial globalisation. If you've stolen a massive wad of money there is an entire - largely legal - global infrastructure for you to pump it through. And if you've ever wondered why dark money loves the new far right, there's a simple reason: anyone who hates international cooperation is a friend of those moving dark money across borders. In the latest episode of our Saving Europe From Itself, Oliver Bullough has a big idea for Europe: get tough on the crooks. The European Cultural Foundation supports this initiative as it is rethinking Europe as an open and democratic space.
Postać Jacka Kuronia jest żywo pamiętana i wspominana przy okazji kolejnych rocznic związanych z przemianami ustrojowymi lub wydarzeniami z jego życia prywatnego. Nieczęsto jednak bywa realną inspiracją do budowania wspólnoty, faktycznych działań i promowania wartości takich jak solidarność, wspólnota, prawa człowieka. Kultura i sztuka zawsze opisywały życie społeczne, a debata publiczna i działania artystyczne wzajemnie się inspirowały i przenikały. To właśnie niezgoda na zastany świat i gorączkowa pasja jego naprawy stanowiła sedno politycznej, społecznej i, szerzej, egzystencjalnej postawy autora słynnej Wiary i winy i współtwórcy KOR. Twórcy słuchowiska dokumentalnego „Jutro będzie słońce” pytają swoich rozmówców o aktualność idei głoszonych przez Jacka Kuronia i całe środowisko harcerzy Walterowców.

Hands up if you've got a better idea of what's happening in American politics than European politics, despite living on this side of the pond? This week André Wilkens, the new director of the European Cultural Foundation, argues that Europeans need to get better at telling their own story — whether it's in the form of a Hamilton-style hit musical or otherwise. Also: scooter wars, holograms, and when the left gets tough on immigration. You can read Katy's piece on the arrival of electric scooters in Paris last summer here in the Guardian, and see a holographic elephant here.
