It has been broadcasted every year since 1956! It attracts more than 100 million viewers in Europe and 600 million viewers internationally!

Europeans love this competition as they can vote through SMS or Internet on their favorite original song from each country.

This year the voting has changed slightly (click on this sight for specifics, http://www.eurovision.tv/page/voting ) Only European countries are allowed to compete with Australia as an exception.

Meet Adrian Farrell, Consul General of Ireland – Learn about the Good Country Index and Why Ireland is #1 on the GCI!
REGISTER HERE

This event is FREE! RSVP IS REQUIRED – Space limited
Adrian Farrell, Consul General of Ireland, welcomes us on Thursday, May 5, to the Irish Consulate General, 515 Congress Avenue, Suite 1720 for a discussion of The Good Country Index.

The Good Country Index measures how much each of the 125 countries on the list contributes to the planet and the human race, with relation to its size.  Almost all other indexes measure country performance in isolation:  whether it’s economic growth, stability, justice, transparency, good governance, productivity, democracy, freedom, or even happiness, it’s mostly measured as internal performance.  The Good Country Index attempts to measure the global impacts of policies and behaviors, what they contribute to the “global commons”, and what they take away.  This forms a truer and more realistic global balance-sheet than one which may error by treating each country as its own private planet.  The concept of the Good Country is about encouraging populations and their governments to be more outward looking, and to consider the international consequences of their national behavior.

The Index measures 35 data points.  Consul General Farrell will use several of the data points as a basis to discuss Ireland.
The Irish Consulate General in Austin was established in the fall of 2014 marking the first European country to form a consulate in Austin.  It is designed to support Irish citizens living in the area as well as advance economic initiatives, promote tourism, and develop educational links with Ireland.
Adrian Farrell is a veteran Irish diplomat who has previously worked in Germany and Turkey.

Reception Hosted by Consul General Farrell will follow the presentation.

Organized by GlobalAustin.

Taste of Wines of the Balkans (TICKETS REQUIRED)

EuroCircle is a global network of fun, educated, professionals whose goal is to discover the world through cultural and social events, travel, and amazing experiences.

We have partnered with Park Towne Place, to bring you a series of events in a comfortable, yet upscale setting.

Tonight, we bring you the wines of the Balkans.

Though largely unknown, this region produces some of the most unique varietals in the world, and several species of grapes that are only available in Serbia. It is no wonder that French and Italian winemakers are buying land in the Balkans, and starting to export it.

The Balkan Wine Project is a platform designed to showcase wines from the Balkan region made using indigenous grape varieties and traditional winemaking techniques. The goal is to spotlight these wines in the US, with an emphasis on education to highlight the diversity of the Balkan history, regions, people, foods and wines. It is an effort to look at the complex and finely woven diversity of the Balkans through a wine glass.

Please LOGIN HERE to sign up/purchase your ticket. (discount before May 1)

Non-members can easily create a profile using your Facebook, Linkedin or twitter login (just add your eurocircle city – Philadelphia – and your country of origin)
