After a successful first edition, the European Green Academy opens its doors for the second time this autumn! From 17-18 November 2023, the Green European Foundation together with Heinrich Böll Stiftung Warsaw, Strefa Zieleni, and Ostra Zielen will invite diverse green actors, activists, politicians, and academics from all over Europe to explore salient green issues and build bridges between national and European-level debates.
In the context of the current polycrisis and looking ahead to 2024 as a pivotal year for Europe, this year the Academy will address three key themes: Democratic Resilience, Peace & Security and the Social Dimension of the Green Deal.
Via a diverse range of formats, including workshops, training, plenary debates, and networking activities, the European Green Academy seeks to equip participants with knowledge and skills, the ability to link national green ideas and debates to the European sphere, and to make new connections to further their involvement in the green movement.

Solidarity Fee
Help us get activists from underrepresented backgrounds to the European Green Academy!
As not everyone can afford to attend the academy, we’ve put in place an optional solidarity fee for participants who have the means to contribute in solidarity with others. By paying the solidarity fee (30 EUR – 120 EUR), you’re supporting young activists from underrepresented backgrounds or those who can’t afford to travel to Warsaw for the Academy. Please note, if GEF sponsors your accommodation and/or travel, this fee is obligatory. Click here to pay a solidarity fee (please note that the previous link is not the official registration page; registrations at the bottom of this page).
