With a sold-out kick-off event in the European Parliament yesterday, the progressive family in Europe launched a fundamental reflection process on the future of the EU. The project called "Together - A new direction for a progressive Europe - Stand up for our future!" will last for a period of 18 months and include a series of events all across Europe. Together is based upon an initiative from the S&D Group with its partners, including the Party of European Socialists (PES), social-democratic representatives of national parliaments, the PES Group in the Committee of the Regions, Socialist Group in the Council of Europe, the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS), Global Progressive Forum (GPF) and SOLIDAR. More than 500 people attended and heard from youth, progressive politicians, academics and civil society representatives about how to relaunch the EU and create better and fairer conditions for all.

Members of the S&D Group in the European Parliament together with leaders from the Party of European Socialists (PES) and other progressive organisations from across Europe met in Prague today to discuss what digitalisation means for Europe. The event culminated in the adoption of a digital declaration outlining the priority areas for progressives in the coming years. This event was part of the Together initiative. Over the next 18 months progressive leaders will meet with citizens and civil society to discuss our priorities for the coming years. This was the first Together initiative after the launch event in Brussels in October and took place alongside the annual PES congress.
