Saturday I joined the workshop on “European dimension in European election” at the PES Seminar in Vienna. Thanks to PES, ECOSY – Young European Socialists and their member organisation, I also had the opportunity to present recent (international) campaigns, as for example the Free Burma Campaign (JS in de PVDA), Disarmament and Peace (JUSOS Germany) or a Belgian campaign concerning censorship in Flanders (Animo Belgium). In addition I had the chance to briefly speak about the “Netzwerk gegen Rechts” (Network against right wing extremism), which was set up by the Socialist Youth Austria (SJOE) in 2004 and still is very successful.

So far, more than 3000 young people joined the Network and are active in the fight against right wing extremism.

We as SJOE offer several things: concerts (rock against racism), seminars, workshops, exhibitions, meetings with contemporary witnesses, excursions and many materials. We consider that it is absolutely necessary to share our experiences with other organizations as many countries face similar problems.

Through this exchange we can have a look at “best practices”, but also discuss things that may have not worked as good as we expected. This communication forms the base for developing new strategies for campaigning and should therefore be in the center of the PES preparation of the upcoming European election campaigns.

1. great work par carl0s Devenir militant(e) du PSE le mardi 8 juillet 2008 à 19h34

just to say that i think the material and content of what you are doing is great and very timely with the far-right on the rise all around.

"rock against racism" - well, you didn't invent that idea  :-) but you are welcome to borrow!
