PES 2009: Join the campaign, shape the manifesto

People don’t want to be talked to. They choose what they want to listen to. The campaign by PES activists for the consultation of the next PES manifesto will be about freewill, political phenonomenon, new tone, new tools and participation of individuals.

What do we want?
· Boost European political engagement
· Create buzz in the European socialist project
· Increase political connectivity in Europe
· Mobilise and listen to activists
· Listen to activists

How are going to do it?
· Start a new political conversation
· Open source social democracy
· Comment, consult, contribute, feedback, rate, experience

The PES Manifesto 2009
· Create a European dialogue
· Inform
· Share ideas
· Meet people

What are the themes?
· Save our planet
· New social Europe
· European democracy and diversity
· Europe in the world

We need to make our priorities, but not without connections, not without discussions and we can do it right here and right now. The PES will be the first party ever at a European level who is formulating our manifesto for the next election by using the web connections to people, by listening, by debating and promoting a new social Europe.

As the regional PES activists network, we will enable you to participate in the campaign, shaping the manifesto.

Blogging from Porto

The Party of European Socialists is holding its Congress next week in Porto (details here) and the Labour Movement for Europe will be there - well, at least Henning and Jon from the Exec of LME-LSE will be there. Henning is manning the stand for the Social Europe Journal, and Jon (and Helena Markstedt) are there as PES Activists. There will be plenty of updates about the Congress posted here, and also over at Jon’s blog and on the PES website too.

Jon is also one of the bloggers for the event on the PES website - more details here.
