European Alternatives is a transnational membership organisation promoting democracy, equality and culture beyond the nation state. The nation state is no longer the appropriate political form in which to define democratic decision-making and active citizenship, equality between people, the respect and extension of rights. Through the launch of campaigns, the organisation of Festivals and many other different forms of political and cultural activism European Alternative looks for other forms of participation and collective action. European Alternatives is structurally based on a dense network of local groups, spread in numerous European cities. European Alternatives Berlin was foundes in 2009 and it has contributed since then with several events to the cultural life of the city.
