SUMMARY:European Green Academy 2026
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 edition of the European Green Academy (EGA) in Brussels\, opens its doors this coming April\, creating an inspiring learning space that brings together Green thinkers\, political actors\, civil society organisations\, and engaged activists from across and beyond Europe. This year’s Academy is crucial – unfolding at a moment when democracy across Europe is under an intensifying attack\, and urgent questions of resilience\, autonomy and collective action demand fresh thinking and alliances. \nAbout the event\nEurope enters 2026 facing a stark political reality. Democratic backsliding\, shrinking civic space\, geopolitical instability\, and the rise of hybrid and technological threats are reshaping the political landscape towards fear\, rollback\, and polarisation. Civil society is being systematically constrained: its autonomy reduced\, its legitimacy attacked\, and its role in democratic life eroded. At the same time\, rapidly evolving technologies are transforming how citizens access information and participate in public life\, creating new vulnerabilities that authoritarian actors are quick to exploit.  \nAgainst this backdrop\, Greens and progressives face mounting challenges in organising\, building alliances\, and collectively envisioning alternatives. EGA 2026 meets this moment head-on: creating a space to deepen understanding\, strengthen transnational exchange and connections\, and develop fresh ideas to defend democracy and rebuild resilience – through stronger participation\, a reimagined and holistic approach to security and protection\, and ambitious ecosocial transformation.  \nOver 1.5 days\, and through a dynamic mix of plenaries\, workshops\, debates\, targeted training sessions and creative formats\, EGA offers an inspiring learning environment where participants can engage with diverse actors and forward-looking ideas. With a strong focus on political education and tailored methodologies\, EGA aims to equip participants with fresh insights\, practical skills\, and forward-looking perspectives to navigate today’s key challenges. It is a space for learning\, building resilience\, and mapping pathways for collective alliances in turbulent political times – as we work towards a just\, ecological\, and democratic Europe.  \nRead more about last years’ edition here.   \n\n  \nProgramme \nFind the European Green Academy programme in PDF here.\nAt the heart of the EGA 2026 programme lies a central question: how can we build resilient\, autonomous\, and vibrant societies amid technological capture\, geopolitical instability\, and deep ecological crisis? \nThematic pillars: \n\nDemocracy under pressure  \nDigital sovereignty and democracy   \nAutonomy & resilience \n\nAcross the Academy\, participants will engage in:  \n\nPlenaries with leading voices from politics\, academia\, activism\, and civil society \nWorkshops and training sessions offering practical tools\, skills\, and methodologies \nDebates and roundtables exploring forward-looking Green ideas \nNetworking spaces to foster collaboration and transnational exchange \nCreative and artistic interventions \n\nMeet the Speakers\n\nNika Kovač\, Activist\, My Voice My Choice\nAgnese Lāce\, Latvia Minister of Culture; co-chair of PROGRESĪVIE\nRosa Martínez\, Secretary of State for Social Rights\, Spain \nTarik Abou-Chadi\, Professor of European Politics\, Oxford University\nNicolae Ștefănuță\, Vice President of the European Parliament\, MEP\, Greens/EFA\nDominika Lasota\, co-founder of the Wschód (“Sunrise”) Initiative\, member of Fridays for Future Poland\nRenata Ávila Pinto\, CEO\, Open Knowledge Foundation\nShannon Vallor\, Co-Director\, Centre for Technomoral Futures\, author The AI Mirror: How to Reclaim Our Humanity in an Age of Machine Thinking \nJustyna Wydrzyńska\, Abortion Dream Team\nStefanos Loukopoulos\, Co-Founder & Director\, Vouliwatch\nZoya Miari\, Palestinian-Ukrainian Storyteller\, Peace Ambassador\nTomas Tomilinas\, MP Democrats for Lithuania\nGabriela Svárovská\, MP\, Co-Chair\, Zelení\nAtte Harjanne\, MP\, Vihreä liitto (Finnish Greens)\nAarti Narsee\, Senior Policy Officer & Lead for Rule of Law Advocacy\, European Civic Forum\nJean Cattan\, Head of the National Initiative\, Café IA; former Secretary General of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technology Council\nNatalija Simović\, Local Councilor\, Zeleno Levi Front  \nRichard Wouters\, Researcher\, Wetenschappelijk Bureau GroenLinks\nAdam Reichardt\, Editor-in-Chief\, New Eastern Europe\nKaren Boers\, FARI\, the Brussels AI Institute for the Common Good\nAriane Giraneza Birekeraho\, Antwerp City Councillor\, Groen \nAlice Stollmeyer\, Executive Director\, Defend Democracy \nKristina Wilfore\, Co-Founder\, #ShePersisted & Director of Innovation and Global Projects at Reset Tech \nBenedetta de Marte\, Secretary General\, European Green Party\nAndrej Zlatović\, Co-Spokesperson\, Federation of Young European Greens  \nÁgi Fernengel\, Director\, School of Public Life\nLiza Bezvershenko\, Independent Civil Society & Advocacy Specialist\nCynthia Muthoni\, Local Councillor\, Green Party of England and Wales\n\nThe European Green Academy will be hosted by Eliza Popper\, Co-Founder of the Good Enough Company. \nFriday 24 April \n\n\n\nTime \nSession \n\n\n13:00-14:00  \nNetworking Lunch  \nRoom: Salle de Guichets\n\n\n14:00-14:20 \nOpening & Welcome  \nRoom: Salle de Guichets\n\n\n14:20-14:45 \nOPENING KEYNOTES \nRoom: Salle de Guichets \n\nAgnese Lāce\, Latvia Minister of Culture; co-chair of PROGRESĪVIE \nNika Kovač\, My Voice My Choice \nRenata Ávila Pinto\, CEO\, Open Knowledge Foundation \nZoya Miari\, Palestinian-Ukrainian Storyteller\, Peace Ambassador \n\n\n\n\n15:00-16:30 \nPARALLEL SESSIONS \n\nBuilding Resilience Through Values\,  Room: Zinneke\nRe-wiring for Democracy: Can We Build Tech Sovereignty from the Ground Up?\, Room: Brel\nThe Backlash Is Organised – Feminists Must Be Too\, Room: Magritte\n\n\n\n\n16:30-17:00  \nBreak \n\n\n 17:00-17:45\nStruggles and Horizons for Democracy in Europe   \n Room: Salle de Guichets \n\nTarik Abou-Chadi\, Professor of European Politics\, Oxford University \nRosa Martínez\, Secretary of State for Social Rights\, Spain \n\n\n\n\n17:45-19:15  \nPLENARY: Civil Society Under Attack: Europe’s Backbone Fights Back \nRoom: Salle de Guichets \n\nRosa Martínez\, Secretary of State for Social Rights\, Spain   \nNika Kovač\, My Voice My Choice   \nStefanos Loukopoulos\, Co-Founder & Director\, Vouliwatch \nAarti Narsee\, Senior Policy Officer & Lead for Rule of Law Advocacy\, European Civic Forum \n\n\n\n\n19:15-20:15  \nNetworking Dinner  \nRoom: Salle de Guichets\n\n\n20:15-20:50 \nSpotlight On: My Voice My Choice \nRoom: Salle de Guichets \n\nNika Kovač\, My Voice My Choice   \n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday 25 April \n\n\n\nTime\nSession \n\n\n09:30- 10:00  \nConnect the Dots – Coffee and Networking \n\n\n10:00-11:30 \nPLENARY: System Reset: Technology for a Democratic Europe   \nRoom: Salle de Guichets \n\nRenata Ávila Pinto\, CEO\, Open Knowledge Foundation \nFrank Karlitschek\, CEO NextCloud   \nProf. Shannon Vallor\, Co-Director\, Centre for Technomoral Futures\, author The AI Mirror\nCyrielle Chatelain\, MP\, Europe Écologie Les Verts\n\n\n\n\n11:45-13:15 \nPARALLEL SESSIONS \n\nUnder pressure but not powerless.

SUMMARY:Green Central-Eastern Network
DESCRIPTION:About the event\nThe Green European Foundation is organising an event tailored to those who have the long-term goal to ignite political change in their countries and advance the green movement locally. Specifically\, the event will gather representatives of national political foundations and equivalent organisations from Eastern European countries where GEF has established partners as well as representatives from organisations that have a potential to help in building sustainable green movements. Gender balance will be observed as a key element in moderation and debate.  We are looking at a balanced participation of both EU and non-EU countries \nObjectives \n\nConnect: we will foster exchanges on who are the agents of change in the region\, and how they work; \n\n\nLearn: we will address the challenges green organisations are facing\, as well as their successes. We’ll have honest conversations on what works and what doesn’t.  \n\n\nBuild: building on the two objectives above\, we will identify what the network can achieve as a community\, and what the next steps should be.  \n\nContext\nThe Green European Foundation is committed to contribute to the advancement of the “green wave” in Central and Eastern Europe\, in coordination with the efforts made by the other members of the European Green family. We want to reinforce and enlarge the green political movement and its impact in those regions of Europe.   \nIn this context\, we are launching a Green Central-Eastern Network\, aiming at facilitating a network of green political foundations and equivalent organisations from Central and Eastern Europe and allow them a space to co-create a framework of functioning; building an understanding of how shared history\, political context\, and topics can create opportunities for common work; Inspiring action by sharing successes and strategies for achieving them and methods of combatting common threats and challenges.This online event will serve as a preliminary work assessing the needs and strengths of the organisations in the region. The input gathered will impulse the networking event in Vienna next year. \nPracticalities\nDate: 10 December 2021 \nLocation: Zoom \nIn case of questions\, please contact luka.gudek@gef.eu  \n  \n\nThis event is organised by the Green European Foundation with the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation.
