EU Enlargement: A New Chapter or Old Wine in New Bottles?
English 90
The war in Ukraine has brought a new sense of urgency to the EU enlargement process. The European Council opened accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova. Now comes the hard part, as the candidate countries in the Western Balkans know only too well. We will discuss what Ukraine and Moldova can learn from their experiences and what impact the new momentum driven by Ukraine has on the enlargement process in the Western Balkans and in general.

Ukraine’s Civil Society: Driving Resilience and Recovery
English 90
Ukraine’s civil society has been a cornerstone of resilience throughout the war – mobilising support, defending democratic values, and filling critical gaps. As the country transitions from resistance to recovery, civic actors play a vital role in ensuring that reconstruction is inclusive, transparent, and responsive to local needs. Join a cross-sectoral dialogue with Ukrainian civic leaders, officials, and European partners to explore how recovery efforts can build on the same resilience that has defined Ukraine’s civil society during the war. Together, we will explore why civic engagement is not only a democratic ideal, but also a strategic necessity for sustainable reconstruction based on European values. //INFO: This session is being translated and transcribed live using the Wordly app.
