The Organize Europe Festival is an international convening of the organizing movements in Europe held every two years in different countries of Europe.
It creates a participatory and creative space for learning, power building, and creativity across the diversity of movements in Europe – with a focus on organizing as a strategic intervention part of a movement ecosystem. It aims to enable participants to:
Build relations and alliances among people, groups, organizations in the movements within and between our network through dialogue, discussions and finding common ground.
Enable movement learning across struggles by facilitating learning exchange, sharing stories and experiences of organizing among participants as well as through political education and participatory training.
Strategize through developing a shared analysis of the problems we face, of power, sharing visions and goals, strategizing and planning diverse ways to respond to the problems collectively.Â
Build power by coordinating this international convening as movement infrastructure to support progressive movements in organizing and building power across Europe and beyond.
ECON is a hub for the community organizing movement in Europe. We support organizers, groups and organizations to build collective power to respond to systemic injustices and emerging crises and create a just and democratic future for all
