The Green Narrative on Peace and Security (Vaxtorp)

About the Event

This learning space is designed for young activists (15-35) from across Europe. The two sessions, organised by GEF with the support of FYEG, will facilitate learning about what security is and what it can mean in different regional contexts in Europe, in the light of past conflicts, crises and current trends. The session will be led by carefully selected experts. Following this, space will be given to those directly affected by the recent conflict in Ukraine to share their thoughts, experiences and ideas for moving forward. After the Summer School, participants will be able to talk about security in an informed and holistic way.

Project background:

This event is part of the Summer Camp: Writing the Green Stories. The camp focuses on building the capacity of young people to create their own narratives, turning their personal stories and experiences into activist actions.
