About the event

During the European Green Activist Training, selected participants are introduced to green values and activity from the local level to the national, EU and international level. As a course participant, they hear from politicians and other professionals of the field, discover how politics is made, get a backstage pass to civil society organisations, and discuss change-making from an individual’s perspective. This course gives them the knowledge, skills and support network they need to become a changemaker themselves. Participants find their own way to be an activist, gain new friends and valuable experience.
