Engaging with Europe

Europe impacts our lives on a daily basis. From energy policy to civil liberties, and from the Eurozone to agriculture, the decisions made in “Brussels” have a profound effect on our economy and society. While individuals are knowledgeable about how national politics works in their country, many are unaware of how the EU operates. This makes it hard for them to engage with Europe when it comes to these crucial decisions that affect their lives. At GEF, we work to educate Green activists about how to influence the EU, giving them the information and the resources to become politically active at EU level. By helping its citizens engage with the EU, we are ensuring a Union that is responsive, democratic and inclusive.
