Moderation and Facilitation, Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung’s European Summer School, Brussels, 3–6 October 2024

The Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung (RLS) is an internationally operating, left non-profit organisation for civic education affiliated with Germany’s ‘Die Linke’ (Left Party). Active since 1990, the foundation has been committed to the analysis of social and political processes and developments worldwide. We work in favour of a more just world system based on international solidarity.

About the project

Over the course of 3.5 days, the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung’s European Summer School 2024 will provide a space for 60-70 left-wing activists, politicians and experts from across Europe and further afield to explore, discuss and propel the scope and potential of feminist economics. A ‘Feminist Economy’ approach allows bringing together practices and perspectives conceived by movements from a variety of social struggles – including anti-capitalist, de-colonial, intersectional, or eco-feminist perspectives – and policy fields as diverse as mobility, labour (paid and unpaid, formal and informal), energy, housing, and many more, to forge solutions to the challenges facing societies globally.

Moderation/ Facilitation

We are looking for a dynamic and experienced Moderator/Facilitator (team) to take over some slots of a 3,5-day event that will be conducted entirely in English. The event will bring together participants from diverse backgrounds, fostering discussions, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving. The selected moderator will play a crucial role in guiding conversations, ensuring engagement, and maintaining a productive and inclusive environment. We will have a big room available for the entire number of participants, as well as two further rooms for groups of up to 25 people.
