Exchange Space & Integral Politics Think Tank about the Russia-Ukraine crisis
every evening after the POP video premiere of the day
We are proud and happy to invite you to our first
Pioneers of Politics Mini Summit
from February 27-March 5, 2022
With this Mini Summit, we are launching our Pioneers of Politics international Youtube Channel.
The channel is part of our current Leadership for Transition (LiFT) Politics project and its sub-project presenting Portraits of Pioneers of a new, more integral politics.
Inspired by our associate partner, the Austrian Pioneers of Change, a German language Pioneers of Politics channel has already been running since July 2020, publishing new videos (mostly interviews with pioneers of a new, more integral politics) roughly every month.
We are now expanding this work with an international playlist to present - and inspire pioneers of a new, more holistic, integral politics on a European and global level.
What can you expect during the
Pioneers of Politics Mini Summit?
For one week, we will launch a new video every day, starting at 20h CET.
During these video premieres, you have the opportunity to connect with the LiFT team, interviewers and interviewees, via the Live Chat function (to access the chat, please log in to your Youtube account!).
Here is an overview of the
