La sostenibilidad tiene que ser el enfoque por la gente y de la gente. Juntos, construiremos una Europa progresista y sostenible, pieza a pieza, de abajo arriba. Nuestra labor es reunir a ciudades y regiones, sindicatos y empresas, ONGs y académicos y, lo que es más importante, a vosotros y vosotras, los ciudadanos y las ciudadanas de Europa, en torno a un objetivo común. Luchemos juntos por una sociedad que sea más justa y edificante. Por un planeta sano que facilite oportunidades a todos y todas. Por una política que antepone el bienestar de la gente. ¡Por una sociedad progresista!

The GPF was created in 2003 with the goal of connecting progressive forces from around the world and developing a global progressive agenda. We are active in all the continents, promoting worldwide campaigns and commitments to action. Our priorities are democracy and human rights, social justice, sustainable growth and social progress.

The School of Democracy is an S&D Group yearly initiative where 100 young people from across Europe and abroad are invited to debate on the key political issues and challenges of our times. Over three days of passionate discussions with MEPs, academics, policy-makers and renowned journalists, young people are given a unique opportunity to express their views, concerns and hopes. Over the years, the School of Democracy has built a vivid community of young people committed to a better and progressive vision of Europe and the world.
