Dopravní chudobou je ohrožena domácnost, která buď na pokrytí svých dopravních potřeb dává velkou část svého rozpočtu, nemůže naplnit všechny své dopravní potřeby, anebo pro ni nejsou dostupné levnější alternativy osobní či veřejné dopravy. Dle studie analytického ústavu STEM jsou takto v Česku ohrožena v průměru tři procenta domácností. Pro Hospodářské noviny komentuje výzkumná pracovnice Insitutu EUROPEUM Rebeka Hengalová.

Open-Air Cinema with a Debate: Stranger in Paradise

August 21, 2024

We invite you to a screening of the film Stranger in Paradise (2016) from this year's One World Festival, which will be followed by a debate on the topic of migration to Europe. The film focuses on questions often faced by immigrants coming to Europe: What do you really want from Europe? Is Europe just a paradise where you can freely pick its fruits? Belgian actor Valentijn Dhaenens, who plays the role of a mentor in the documentary, confronts them with various model reactions from Europeans to their arrival. The film explores issues such as who gets the chance to stay in Europe, on what criteria these decisions are based, and how complex the mechanisms are that determine entry into this "paradise."

e15 | Síkela has a chance at a key position in the new European Commission, von der Leyen faces tough negotiations

August 23, 2024

Intense behind-the-scenes negotiations are currently underway in Brussels over the allocation of 27 positions in the new European Commission, which will once again be led by Ursula von der Leyen. The German politician faces two major challenges: the limited number of strong economic portfolios, which many member states, including the Czech Republic, are vying for, and the effort to create the first-ever gender-balanced Commission, complicated by the predominance of male candidates. The situation was commented on for e15 by Žiga Faktor, Deputy Director of EUROPEUM Institute.
