New Perspectives on Global Challenges: SpringLab

In times of multiple crises – from climate change and social inequalities to geopolitical tensions – innovative solutions and fresh perspectives are urgently needed. SpringLab creates the space to explore these ideas, focusing on feminist foreign and development policy as a forward-thinking approach to tackling global challenges through justice, inclusion, and empowerment.

Shaping a Fairer World Together

SpringLab brings together experts, activists, and decision-makers to integrate feminist principles into global collaboration. At the heart of this initiative are the challenges and opportunities of sustainable partnerships between Europe and the Global South. Our mission: to build a fairer world that embraces diversity and equality as the foundation of global development.

Essential Questions for the Future

SpringLab addresses critical questions that will shape the future of feminist foreign and development policy:

How realistic are the 2030 Development Goals? We critically examine these global targets and explore innovative pathways to achieve them.
What can feminist development policy achieve? We explore expectations and investigate how intersectional approaches can drive political transformation.
How can equal and fair co-operation between the so-called global North and South be achieved? With the inclusion of decolonial perspectives, we would like to take a critical look at how fair cooperation can be achieved.
