Europese Beweging:
EVS Student Symposium BRICS: Changing the rules of the game?

Chances and challenges for international cooperation and developing countries

Emerging economies are changing the global playing field which brings both chances and challenges for Europe and developing countries. European norms and practices are not self-evident anymore. BRICS-countries apply their own terms and conditions when it comes to international treaties and practices. Specifically the involvement of BRICS countries in Africa has become an area of growing attention and interest. New forms of international cooperation are emerging in which the roles of the Netherlands and Europe are up for debate!

Take part in one of the master classes and work hand-in-hand with experts, politicians, businesses and NGOs. Deepen your knowledge on a subtheme, for example Democracy and Human Rights, Raw Materials or Millennium Development Goals. Engage in the discussion, expand your network, join the battle and formulate the best policy recommendations!

Are you part of the winning team? Then you’ll win a visit to the Hague or Brussels where you learn to talk ‘politics’ during a lobby training and convince politicians of the recommendations of the symposium!

Date: Saturday 21st of April

Time: 10.00 - 18.00

Venue: University College Utrecht

Price: € 10, - (Incl. lunch and drinks)

Deze Nederlandse organisatie zet zich in voor internationale solidariteit in de politiek. De EVS is verbonden aan de Partij van de Arbeid. De stichting wil politici en het publiek bewust maken van de – vaak onbedoelde – schadelijke gevolgen van Nederlands en Europees beleid voor mensen in ontwikkelingslanden. Dit is volgens de EVS hard nodig, omdat politici en andere beleidsmakers vaak beslissingen nemen waarbij de belangen van mensen in ontwikkelingslanden genegeerd worden. Deze beslissingen hebben vaak negatieve gevolgen voor de ontwikkeling van deze landen.
