EGAT session on EU politics in Malta pt.2

This training is a part of our transnational project “European Green Activists Training”, and will provide opportunities for 11 participants to learn more about the institutions of the European Union, Green politics and sustainable development policies.

As an additional element of this training, the participants will gain an exclusive access to our online course IMPACT EUROPE – which will enhance their critical understanding of the European Union, provide them with an analytical overview of the Green movement in the context of contemporary politics at the European level, as well as with insights into ways of generating political impact as a European citizen.

The EU session

The Green European Foundation will contribute with a special session with the focus on the European Union and activism on a European level on 17 November in Gzira.

The participants will meet and discuss with representatives from Green European Foundation. The training will include workshops about writing as a tool for activism, experience sharing and creating their own activism plan.

The session will be followed a study visit to Brussels in Spring 2019, in which the participants will complement their training by experiencing the European political dimension first-hand.
