Ironically the populist right could provoke the opposite of the strengthening of national states and become the obstetricians and midwives of a new Europe..

BEING A CATALYST FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE

The EUSG Engagement

The European School of Governance acts as a catalyst for dialogue, for debates, discourses and activism throughout society. Far from setting or pushing agendas the EUSG hosts and facilitates trans-disciplinary dialogue across all parties for mutual understanding and better solutions.
 

THE EUROPEAN WAY

Europe is inescapable and whatever we think and do in politics, economy and civil society in Europe is challenged with two inevitabilities. First is the geography of the continent. It is all interconnected and all interdependent. And second is the cultural depth of the diverse European regions.

Building on Europe’s cultural depth and diversity we can rightfully assume that there is, and has to be, a European way of governance and management. The EUSG fosters, hosts and facilitates the quest for this European way in dialogue events and research.

The beauty of Europe is that we find all we need in plenty: traditions and ideas, experiences, knowledge and values. It is about time to thrive on this treasure for better decision making, for better management and governance in business and politics.

EUROPEAN NEW SCHOOL THINKING

To meet the challenges of the 21st century we need a new thinking. Investigating and exploring this new thinking based on critical evaluation and systemic insight is what the European School of Governance stands for. Together with our fellows and institutional partners we want to co-create a European New School Thinking.

Following the traditions of the Bauhaus and the New School we want to foster a European New School Thinking that pursues research projects engaging with the world, shaping practice and continuously learning for improvement and innovation. European New School Thinking acknowledges Europe’s diversity and cultural depth. European New School Thinking enables us to explore, improve and innovate the social dynamics within the systemic complexity of our everyday life. We shall be the change we want to see in the world.

The European School of Governance is home to those thought leaders who think and act beyond the boxes and like to provoke discourses and debates based on a critical perspective and systemic insight. We are home to transdisciplinary action research and praxeology, benefitting from learning journeys into the very heart of society, where not only political and business decisions take place. We are home to integrated ways of schooling which train and coach social entrepreneurs, not only in business and politics, on their way to contribute to a better world.
