The EL and transform! europe Summer University 2023 will take place in Ljubljana (Slovenia), from the 6th to the 9th of July 2023.
As every year, transform! europe and the Party of the European Left are organising the Summer University.
This year it will take place in Ljubljana (Slovenia) from 6 to 8 July. It will be a great opportunity to meet and address strategic issues before the 2024 European elections, and also to find common strategies for a European election campaign that we know will be difficult.
We need all our intelligence, organisation and unity to stop the long black wave that is sweeping our continent. We want to address in particular the young generations who have the task of overcoming insecurity and injustice in order to imagine a better future. That is why we have decided to reclaim the future.
You can find the draft programme here below (subject to changes).
