About the event
The European Green Activists Training (EGAT) is a project organized by the Green European Foundation in cooperation with the association Forum for Sustainable Development Green Window. The project is being held in Croatia for the seventh year in a row, and more than 120 young high school students, students and young professionals from all parts of Croatia have participated in the project.
The aim of the project is to familiarise participants with green topics (climate change, biodiversity and environment protection, human rights and democracy, feminism, active citizenship…), green policies and sustainable development policies, as well as the EU institutions. Through various sessions and discussions involving representatives of international organizations and the European Union, the goal is to explore possibilities of active and professional involvement in building a greener and more just society.
Many previous participants remained active in the fields of sustainable development and green policies, while some even had the opportunity to pursue their career through internships or regular employment opportunities in the institutions of the EU.
Apart from Croatia, participating countries include Finland, Greece, Hungary, Catalonia, Poland and the Czech Republic.
