Everything is in the name: it's β€˜open’ because we want to give wide access to it;Β it’s β€˜progressive’ because it tells the history and values of the progressive movement. It’s the Open Progressive University! The OPU aims to train Progressives from all over Europe and we proudly inaugurated it this week! A week that began with International Biodiversity Day (*a gentle reminder that the preservation of our beautiful planet is everybody's responsibility*).

So what’s next? Lots of events (mark your calendar) and the weekend, have a good one!

UPCOMING EVENT
5 June - Online

With the expansion of multinational care companies across Europe, more rigorous EU standards are needed to ensure decent working conditions and accessible, quality care for all.
To address staff shortages and improve recruitment and retention rates, we need a fundamental revaluing of the care profession. The workers' pay and conditions must match their crucial role in our societies. Join us at the first policy lunch of the Care4Care series, where we'll address the persisting challenges related to care policy-making and focus on policy-oriented solutions.
UPCOMING EVENT

Daphne Halikiopoulou, Chair in Comparative Politics, York University, will present the third Next Left Lecture organised by FEPS and Karl–Renner-Institut.

DOSSIER
Nature and us: why biodiversity matters

On Monday, the world celebrated the International Day for Biological Diversity. Although our survival depends on healthy and vibrant ecosystems, our destructive, utilitarian and exploitative attitude towards nature makes us, humans, the biggest threat to biodiversity conservation.
We must change our relationship with nature and recognise that our own survival and well-being depend on the survival and well-being of the ecosystems around us. On a political level, governments worldwide must translate their international commitments into concrete actions, and urgently. The preservation of our planet and its ecosystem is our responsibility, as an individual and as a society.
