Watch the recording of our really inspiring and interesting sixth online encounter with Margaret Hales: From grass roots to president: a journey of many friendships held on 4th June 2025. Members are invited to apply to join the British Section delegation to the 2025 Europe Alive in Malta from 16-20 October. Europe Alive gives members an opportunity to visit another EUW country for social, political and cultural exchange and to develop friendships across Europe.
The deadline for applications is 28 April 2025. For more details contact [email protected]. The recording is now available from our hugely informative and thought provoking special event in parallel with the UN's 69th Commission on the Status of Women which took place on 11th March 2025. Europe Alive was started in 1983 by Alison Tennant to enable EUW members to meet in different countries for cultural, political and social exchange.
In 2025 there are going to be two Europe Alive events. The first is in Vienna from 25th-28th February, when 40 delegates from 6 countries, including 9 British members, will meet, visit the Houses of Parliament and attend the Small Vienna Opera Ball in the Town Hall. The main 2025 Europe Alive event is being hosted by the Maltese Section from 16th-20th October, to showcase Malta and Gozo with visits to the Maltese Parliament and St. John’s Cathedral. Further details will be sent out in March. Meanwhile, members may like to know there is a 250-euro fee which covers coach transport, boat trip, entrance fees and 4 meals but delegates must also pay for their flights and accommodation. Places are limited so anyone interested in attending will need to send an expression of interest, stating their reason for wishing to go, any languages they speak apart from English and any previous experience of Europe Alive events. The aim is to develop strong relationships between EUW members across Europe. Finally, the Czech Section has offered to host the 2026 Europe Alive in historic Brno, the second city of Czechia from 3rd-7th June 2026 for which programme details will be available later this year. The 2025 Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69) will take place from March 10 to March 21, 2025, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. This session marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action adopted in 1995, focusing on the review and appraisal of progress made in women's rights and gender equality.
At the same time as government representatives meet, there is also a meeting in New York of all the NGOs with consultative status with the United Nations. For those who are unable to attend, and post the pandemic, digital meetings by zoom etc are organised. These are called Parallel Events. The European Union of Women will be organising three such parallel events and they are available to all members of EUW and their friends.
