What are we up to with Transeuropa Caravans?

From 25th of April to May 4th – with the exception of the Southern Caravan which leaves from May 2nd to May 10th – Transeuropa Caravans will leave six cities and travel towards another city, passing through more than 30 spots identified in the previous research and mapping phase. The transnational caravans’ teams made up of a coordinator, a communication and a logistics officers, a video-maker and a cartoonist will engage with people involved on the ground in political struggles or initiatives for democracy, solidarity and equality, on topics ranging from the defence of minorities’ rights to the environment, the fight for common goods or the resistance to the power of financial markets… Often these grass roots initiatives are taking place locally but gather knowledge and information that ought to be spread across Europe and be connected to similar initiatives at the other corner of the continent. This journey is a way of connecting all of these initiatives amplifying their voices through the platform we – European Alternatives – provide and through the engagement in the next edition of the Citizens Manifesto and subsequent presentations. read more
