Europa kontrovers: Verantwortung für Frieden in Europa – wer trägt sie in Zeiten des Unfriedens?

Peace in Europe is fragile — and the question of who safeguards it, it is on the minds of many Berliners. At a time of global tensions, we will discuss what a just and sustainable peace policy might look like, who exerts influence, and how European decisions shape our daily lives in Berlin.
The districts’ European affairs officers, Europa-Union Berlin, and the European Academy Berlin invite you to the next edition of “Europa kontrovers”: a series that puts Berlin perspectives front and center.
The event will focus on three questions:

Who decides on peace – and whose voice is heard?
How can costs and responsibilities be distributed fairly?
What does European peace policy mean in concrete terms for Berlin?

The following speakers will be on the panel:

Dr Katrin Mohr – Political Secretary for Policy Issues and Social Policy. IG Metall Executive Board.
Dr Timo Graf – Senior Research Fellow. Centre for Military History and Social Sciences of the Bundeswehr.
Eva Yakubovska – Board member. Vitsche e. V. – advocacy organisation aiming to make Ukraine visible and heard in Germany.
Markus Lackamp – Member of the German Bundestag (MdB) – Foreign and Development Policy Spokesperson for the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag.
Prof. Dr. Klaus Schlichte (University of Bremen) – Professor of International Relations and World Society, with research focuses including knowledge in German security policy and armed conflicts.

Then it’s your turn: in a fishbowl format, all attendees can ask questions and join the discussion. From 8 pm, networking over drinks and snacks.
Free admission from 5 pm, but advance registration is required!
