SUMMARY:Green Summer Academy - Closer to Europe (Ośno Lubuskie)
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nThe fifth Green Summer Academy in Poland will take place 20km from the Odra River\, a  natural border between Poland and Germany\, near the two towns on the both sides of the river: Słubice in Poland and Frankfurt / Oder in Germany. \nThe Academy is set against the new political reality following the European Parliament elections\, in which the Greens became the fourth largest force in the Parliament. At the same time\, right-wing and conservative\, authoritarian forces were highly successful in Poland and Hungary. \nIn Poland\, pro-democracy and European opposition are preparing for national parliamentary elections in October. On a global context\, we are facing crises in the form of climate change\, biodiversity extinction\, natural resource depletion\, pollution\, growing inequalities and rising nationalism. \nOn the other end of the spectrum\, we are seeing citizens mobilising across the world\, with initiatives at every level rising to meet these crises. Now more than ever Poland and the rest of Europe needs a strong\, coordinated Green movement. \nThis Academy will bring together activists\, experts and politicians to exchange and discuss these pivotal issues and how to empower those wanting to enact change. \nProgramme\nThe details of the following programme are still to be confirmed.

SUMMARY:New Political Course Days (Barcelona)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nThe current times in Europe are characterised by political uncertainty and instability in regard to domestic as well as foreign policies. As it is clear that we are living in times of fundamental change\, citizens all over Europe must be equipped with the tools to take a new political course and they must be empowered to face the challenges ahead. \nMany countries across the EU face similar challenges in various areas that affect citizens’ daily lives: insufficient access to affordable housing\, high unemployment rates and precarious jobs\, sexist violence and the ongoing migration and asylum policies crisis. At the same time\, we can observe a neoliberal drift as well as the rise of nationalist\, undemocratic forces in some EU member states that is counterproductive to find sustainable solutions to those challenges. \nOnly with an extensive participation of citizens\, the radical changes that are needed to face those challenges can be made. \nAbout the event\nThe upcoming New Political Course Days\, organised with the support of Fundació Nous Horitzons and in collaboration with a variety of other actors such as Fundació l’Alternativa and Instituto 25M Democracia\, will provide a space for debate with agents of change and to formulate demands towards the political representatives for this era of change in Catalonia\, Spain and Europe. \nProgramme\nFriday\, 14 September \n17:00 REGISTRATION \n17:20 OPENING \n17:30 DISCUSSION WITH ADA COLAU \nAda Colau\, Mayor of Barcelona \n18:15 PANEL DEBATE Multilevel governance\, politics of scale and social transformation \nLucía Martín\, ECP representative in the Congress of Deputies: Housing policies \nPablo Cotarelo\, Engineer and consultant for the energy sector: A new energy economy \nMarta Junqué\, Fearless Cities: From the neighbourhoods to Europe – the relation of local and global \nModeration: Marc Parés\, Professor of Geography at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and head of the  Research Group on Urban Governance\, Commons\, Internet & Social innovation at the Institute for Government and Public Policies \nProgramme\nSaturday\, 15 September \n10:00 PANEL DEBATE Europe\, sovereignty and democracy \nErnest Urtasun\, Member of the European Parliament for the Greens/EFA Group \nFabio de Masi\, Member of the German Parliament of Die Linke \nElly Schlein\, MEP of S&D \nModeration: Lucile Schmid\, Co-President of the Green European Foundation \n11:00 BREAK \n11:15 PANEL DEBATE A new economic\, social and environmental model for Catalonia \nJordi Angusto\, Economist: A new economic model for Catalonia \nSandra Ezquerra\, Professor of sociology at Universitat de Vic Barcelona: A feminist economy \nJosé Antonio Donaire\, Professor of geography at Universitat de Girona: A sustainable economy \n12:45 PANEL DEBATE Start of the new political course: the challenges  ahead for progressive forces in this moment of change \nElisenda Alemany\, Member of the Catalan Parliament for Catalunya En Comú Podem \nIone Belarra\, Representative in the Congress of Deputies for Unidos Podemos \nEnric Juliana\, Deputy Director of La Vanguardia \nGemma Ubasart\, Professor of political science at Universitat de Girona \nModeration: Dolors Comas d’Argemir\, President of Fundació Nous Horitzons \n14:15 CLOSING \n\nFor more info and registration\, send an email to fundacio@noushoritzons.cat \nStay tuned for updates on this website and by signing up for the Facebook event!

SUMMARY:Univerde X Edition (Madrid)
DESCRIPTION:Context\n66% of the world population will live in urban areas by 2050. Currently\, already 73% of Europeans live in urban areas. There is no doubt that the future of humanity will be decided in cities and that they can be catalysts for the transformation we urgently need to face the multiple challenges\, both socially and environmentally\, that we see at the moment. Cities constitute the new political centre\, tackling global problems on a local level: local governments and citizens’ movements are at the forefront of the fight against climate change or aid to refugees\, and new forms of participation and democracy are being experimented with.\n\nAbout the event\n\nAt this Univerde\, which will already be the tenth edition of the successful Spanish summer school\, we’ll reflect on the present and future of cities; about their role for the future of the planet and its inhabitants; about how our cities should be to move towards environmental and social sustainability.\n\nIn this context\, we’ll discuss about climate change\, citizen movements and commons\, gentrification\, water and food supply\, the relationship between the urban and the rural. We will bring positive European experiences that can be replicated in other cities.\n\n\nProgramme\n\nSaturday\, September 8 \n08:45 – 09:30 Accreditation\n09:30 – 11:15 Parallel Workshops:\n\nGreen urbanism for the 21st century\nCities of solidarity: immigration and cooperation\nPolitical ecology and local political action\nThe policy against plastics\nEducation for the ecological transition in cities\n\n11:15 – 11:45 Break\n11:45 – 12:15 Opening Ceremony: Initial reflections on the city\n\nAurélie Maréchal\, Director of the Green European Foundation\nJavier Ayala\, Mayor of Fuenlabrada\nFlorent Marcellesi\, Member of the European Parliament for Greens/EFA\nMonica Frassoni\, Co-president of the European Green Party and Board member of Fundación EQUO\nJuan López de Uralde\, Co-spokesperson of EQUO and member of the Congress of Deputies for Unidos Podemos\n\n12:15 – 14:00 Round table: Cities and citizens building future \nModerator: Mariano Baratech\, Sociologist and Member of the EQUO Fundación’s board\n\n\nEvelyne Huytebroeck\, Member of the Brussels Parliament and Local Councillor in the Brussels commune of Forest\, Responsible of the Local Councilors Network for the European Green Party\nJulia López Ventura\, C40’s Regional Director for Europe\nChristina Monge\, Political scientist and Associate Professor of Sociology at the Unversity of Zaragoza\n\n\n14:00 – 15:45 Lunch break\n15:45 – 17:30 Parallel Workshops:\n\n\n\nThe city of the future vs. the field of the past\nWomen who “paint” cities to inhabit them\nRe-municipalisation of basic services: water\nA more just\, supportive and sustainable Europe: the role of EQUO in the European Parliament\nRe-naturalisation of our cities\n\n17:30 – 18:00 Break \n\n\n18:00 – 18:45 Keynote speech: Anthropocene and bioregion\n\nFernando Prats\, urbanist architect.

SUMMARY:Moving Beyond Fragments (Komiža)
DESCRIPTION:Context   \nIn its 6th edition\, the Green Academy aims to identify the convergences and draw on positive experiences of social movements and political actors across Europe. The will is to foster transnational European exchange on ways of moving beyond the fragments\, with a particular focus on Eastern Europe and the European South\, where obstacles to enact progressive politics seem most vivid. The emergence of far-right authoritarianism and the exposure to austerity should challenge us to formulate a sharp and coherent political strategy\, homegrown to the European semi-periphery.   \nSince its establishment in 2010\, the Green Academy was designed as an intensive knowledge-building and discussion program for left\, green and other progressive political forces. So far\, almost 1000 people from civil society\, politics\, academia\, movements and media have participated in its work. The 6th edition of the Green Academy\, grounded in intersectionality and transdisciplinary approach\, encourages in-depth knowledge building\, combining academic modules with political debate and activist exchanges.   \nContinuing its focus on three education modules\, namely degrowth/sustainability\, municipalism/commons and climate change/just transition\, it will aim to break with disciplinary divisions and limitations\, using methodologies such as critical pedagogy and new formats that encourage self-organisation\, cultural expression and learning of practical political skills.   \nAbout the event \nAt the Green Academy GEF will organise a specific workshop under the title ‘’Degrowth & Glocal Sustainability’\, that will offer relevant cutting-edge knowledge to participants (from Doughnut Economics and Eco-Sufficiency to the concept of a Good life for all) through interactive formats of learning.  \nThe workshop will concentrate on different variations between growth\, technology\, work and quality of life\, but also tackling specific aspects of inequality or participation. It will help to identify points of convergences where political and social alliances can be framed and strengthened while at the same time not ignoring the potential conflicts or controversial aspects that have divisive impact\, with the ultimate goal of finding solutions for them. The focus of this workshop will be predominantly to frame the narrative about a deeper understanding of sustainability as an old concept\, through discovering of its importance of future design of future life in and of the European Union.  \n  \nThe workshop ‘Degrowth & Glocal Sustainability‘ is organised by the Green European Foundation with the support of Institute for Political Ecology and with the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation.

SUMMARY:Fighting for Our Common Planet (Selce)
DESCRIPTION:Context  \nThe Summer Camp ‘Fighting for Our Common Planet’ is part of Federation of Young European Greens’ annual project on commons. Commons refer to shared resources and social practices that are maintained by communities in a sustainable manner. Good management of commons offers a sustainable and accessible alternative to the current centralised and dominant role of the state and market. \nThe Summer Camp will focus on environmental commons\, particularly on how the climate can be managed in a sustainable\, inclusive and participatory way. \nAbout the event \nA central part of the programme – ‘Climate Change Summer Workshop’\, organised by the Green European Foundation – is built around Climate Change. It aims to increase awareness of the importance of combating climate change among Young Greens\, and a better understanding of climate negotiations and what actions are needed on the EU and national level to make a difference. Moreover\, young people will be trained to bring climate change into the public debate and make it a relevant subject. \nProgramme  \nFriday July 27 \n12:00-13:30 ‘Looking into the Paris Agreement’ \n​Introduction to climate negotiations – understanding how international stakeholders cooperate to mitigate temperature rises and adapt to climate change. We will look into what the Paris Agreement brought to the table\, what were the commitments by different European countries\, and how far are we in reaching them. From FYEG’s Climate Change Working group we will learn the relation between the European Union and nation states when it comes to national policies related to climate change. \n14:30-16:00 ‘Towards the climate change solutions’ ​(with a livestream) \nThree guest speakers coming from different backgrounds are invited to discuss the main challenges faced within international climate negotiations and in the elaboration of European Climate Policies (Mitigation\, adaptation\, North/South Solidarity\, Transfer of knowledge\, Loss and damage\, etc.). The panel will address questions such as: Why is COP24 in Poland important? What policies are planned in relation to combating climate change around Europe and in the EU? What changes can we expect in the upcoming elections in regards to climate change policies? Is Europe ready to mitigate the consequences of climate change? What are the next steps in the fight against climate change and what are the entry points through which young people can influence the outcome of climate negotiations? \nSpeakers: Yan Dupas​\, Political advisor in the Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament (tbc); Kelsey de Porte​\, Jonge Klimaatbeweging; Luka Tomac\,​ Green Action/Friends of the Earth Croatia (tbc); Moderator: ​Zuzana Pavelkova\,​ FYEG’s co-spokesperson \nSaturday July 28 \n12:00-13:30 ‘Storytelling about Climate’ \nWith the engagement of a guest-trainer from the Green European Journal (tbc) and a famous French vlogger Vincent Verzat (Partager C’est Sympa)\, participants will be trained about efficient ways of communicating climate change to a wider audience. Emphasis of the training will be put on how to create a positive narrative on combating climate change\, and how to incentivise people about the issue. The program will be based on the principles of ​non-formal education​ and intercultural learning. We strive for an active\, inclusive and direct communication and sharing of knowledge. \nPracticalities: \nThe workshop is open to the public. Those interested can receive information about available places at project.manager@fyeg.org. \n  \nThe event ‘Climate Change Summer Workshop’ is organised by the Green European Foundation with the support of the Federation of Young European Greens and with the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation.

SUMMARY:Colours of Green (Graz)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nFollowing the loss of the Austrian Green party during the national elections in 2017\, the entire Austrian Green movement is at a crossroads. ‘Green Repositioning’ aims to start a process of re-organising the Green movement and to come up with a new Green narrative that links ecological and social concerns and lays out how to master the Great Transformation based on solidarity and resilience. A clear positioning and a joint understanding of socio-ecological politics based on Political Ecology will become a cornerstone in reinventing the Austrian Green movement. This ‘Green Repositioning’ project consists of several different events throughout the year all over Austria. \nWithin this framework\, GEF will organise a Summer Academy with the support of Grüne Bildungswerkstatt. \nAbout the event\nThree key areas – six workshops – one Green identity. Following this motto\, the Summer Academy will function as a laboratory within the ‘Green Repositioning’ project currently implemented by the Austrian green foundation Grüne Bildungswerkstatt. \nFollowing the Regional Ideas Lab\, organised by the Greens/EFA Group in the European Parliament and the European Green Party on the days before the Summer Academy\, the event will continue lively debates with change makers and pulse generators from all over Europe. \nThe aim is to develop working theses for the following three key areas that were identified: \n\nEnvironment & Ecology\nDemocracy & Media\nEconomy & Future of Work\n\nThe project ‘Green Repositioning’\, including the GEF Summer Academy\, aims to contribute to a new Green narrative that answers the question ‘Where will the Green movement be in 2030\, and how can it contribute to a better future?’. \nThree workshops will be organised in English. The detailed programme will be available on this website soon. \n\nRegistration\nRegister now for the GEF Summer Academy in Graz by following this link. \nThe participation fee for the event is 60 Euro (including catering during the event). For further questions\, send an email to sommerakademie(at)gbw.at.

SUMMARY:Restoring Food to the Heart of the Community (Cork)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nThe broadening and deepening of global food production and supply has been a powerful force of economic\, social and environmental transformation for the last three decades or more with profound changes\, not only to farming systems that become locked into industrial commodity production\, but also to adverse environmental effects leading to major ecological ruptures: The productivist agri-industrial model has achieved a remarkable grip over the policy agenda surrounding food security. Yet the consequences include growing concern over emissions of greenhouse gases and impacts upon biological diversity. \nThe summer school will propose policy changes not only in response to the review of the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) which is taking place in 2018 but also to the Milan Urban Food Policy pact. The European Commission’s communication on the review of the CAP states that climate change and preserving the environment is the main challenge facing the EU\, and the CAP must play an enhanced role in this battle – not only to protect farmers from the impact of climate change but also to ensure that farming does not contribute to making the problem worse.

SUMMARY:Univerde IX Edition in Spain
DESCRIPTION:Context\nThe economic crisis and the increasing number of applications for asylum\, that often remain unacknowledged\, as well as the perceived lack of protection and the fear of cultural identity loss are favouring the rise of populist\, nationalist and xenophobic movements. Those movements are generating a growing anti-European sentiment and are testing our democratic values as well as the very raison d’être of the European Union. \nBesides\, there has been a transfer of decision-making powers from the states to supranational institutions which has resulted in the loss of sovereignty of the nation state as such. This oftentimes is also perceived as a loss of power of the citizens who see their participation in the decision-making process severely diminished\, which has generated a sense of disaffection towards the EU institutions. \nUniverde IX\nThis year’s edition of Univerde therefore aims to increase knowledge and foster the debate about the role of the European Union in the global context\, from a Green point of view. This event will provide a platform to discuss possible Green solutions to the deterioration of democratic processes and the disenchantment with politics of large groups within the European societies. \nSpeakers from all over Europe will discuss on a variety of European issues\, while integrating a Spanish perspective\, in different sessions with more than 300 participants. \nProgramme\nDAY 1 (8 September) \n\nParallel workshops\nOpening ceremony \nConference about “Justice and Democracy in post-Brexit EU”\nPlenary session about “Democracy\, post-truth and populism – challenges to the EU”\n\nDAY 2 (9 September) \n\nParallel workshops\nPlenary session about “Human Mobility and Borders”\nConference about “Ecofeminist contributions to the defense of land and people”\nPlenary session about “Environment and Global Markets”\n\nPlease download the full programme here or find more information on the webpage of Univerde. \nRegistration: Please sign up for the event by sending an email to sconsuegra@fundacionequo.es \nDate: 8-9 September 2017 \nVenue: Logroño (La Rioja)\, Spain \n

SUMMARY:Summer Lab 2017 in Austria
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Summer Lab looked into the state of democracy on the local\, national\, European and global level while identifying different dimensions of decline that societies are facing. In this framework\, GEF hosted an international workshop in English on progressive alliances in Europe between social movements\, the Greens and local initiatives from different countries. This included the analysis of responses by governing parties as well as by the right-wing opposition to facets of decline and seek to formulate Green alternatives for the future of European democracies and a united European democracy. \nDifferent formats to create lively debates\nTo engage all participants\, different methods of training were used and as many slots as possible for open debates\, such as  ‘sessions of larger groups’ as well as ‘Open Space’ and free planning sessions\, were provided. By combining the training soft skills such as campaigning\, network analysis\, communication\, moderation methods with policy and the party programme\, the Summer Lab aimed to generate ideas\, new networks and new collaborations between and among Green party members and politicians\, activists and different actors of civil society. Gathering around 100 participants in the idyllic scenery of Kapfenberg in Austria\, its aim was to formulate Green responses to the interplay between social and economic tendencies of decline\, symptoms of crisis and how to strengthen our democracies. \nParallel workshops around ‘Change’\nThe hands-on training were done in four ‘in-depth workshops‘\, with one specific focus each\, which were organised in three phases spread across the two days of the Summer Lab: \na) How to democratise and restructure the Green party\, 30 years after its foundation\, in order to carry forward its objectives and regain its sociopolitical role. \nb) Cities as lively spaces of political contestation: Discussing questions of the public space\, commercialisation of cities and common goods. \nc) What challenges does the current world of employment generate for the mobilisation of citizen’s and how can contribute to a democratisation of the production of wealth? \nd) Narratives for change: How can we create alliances of different forces in Europe\, which oppose the Status Quo while disassociating from the far right at the same time. This workshop will be organised by the Green European Foundation with the support of Grüne Akademie Steiermark and the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation. \nThe ‘Big Picture’\nThe ‘Big Picture’ panel debate helped frame the political and societal context and will give\, alongside the workshops and other forms of discussions\, further food for thought. \nThe panelists will be: \nDr Gael Brustier\, Political scientist and political activist\, France \nMA Carina Altreiter\, Institute of Sociology\, University of Vienna\, Austria \nProf Dr Andreas Fisahn\, Faculty of Law\, University of Bielefeld\, Germany \nMA Gabu Heindl\, Architect and City Planner\, Austria \nMA Hanna Lichtenberger\, Institute for International Politics\, University of Vienna\, Austria \nProf em. Dr Klaus Offe\, Hertie School of Governance\, Berlin\, Germany \nIt is hoped that through the Summer Lab\, individual projects by participants on the basis of those new networks and alliances will be initiated\, and discussions on a progressive future of Europe\, strategies to fight the far right\, and on progressive populism in Europe will be continued afterwards\, while integrating local and national initiatives with European struggles and future European activities. \nFor the full programme (available in German only)\, please click here. \n  \nRegistration: closed since 31 May. Stay tuned for the outcomes of the event! \nDate/Time: 14-16 July \nPlace: Kapfenberg\, Upper Styria (Austria) \n

SUMMARY:Hope and cope - Green Summer Academy in Poland
DESCRIPTION:Context:\nWe meet in an extremely important year for EU\, with the Brexit negotiations\, the elections in France\, Germany and Netherlands\, the unpredictability of the new US President Donald Trump and the crisis of democracy in Poland and Hungary.  This generates various factors that will directly and indirectly impact the progress of the global climate policy and the implementation of the Paris Agreement. Next year’s municipal election in Poland makes us focus on the role of regions and cities in the transition to low carbon societies\, and other progressive transformations. We checked if the European Pact of Amsterdam can play a role in this transition. One of the cornerstones of the green vision of the world is sustainable development\, for which the preservation  of pure environment and of nature rich in biodiversity for the future generations is as important as the short term economic efficiency and social justice. \nTherefore\, our Green Summer Universities gave the participants an opportunity to enter into a direct relationship with living nature and thus provide them with additional knowledge\, sensitivity and motivation for its protection and political representation of its interests.  Due to the mega projects of transeuropean waterways that threat the principal Polish rivers\, together with badly implemented Water Frame Directive\, the water ecosystems were at the center of  the ecological outdoor expeditions during this third Green Summer Academy\, located in the heart of the Natural Park of Great Poland. \nProgramme:\nThe three day event consisted of lectures\, debates and practical workshops focusing on the following themes: \n\nPuszczykowo theme;\nGreen economy seminar;\nGreen and progressive city\, local governance theme;\nSkills and empowerment;\nClimate change and Paris Agreement theme;\nPublic debate in Poznań.\n\n  \nThis summer school was executed with the support of the Green European Foundation and Heinrich Böll Foundation in Warsaw. \nRegistration: Via email to ewa.sufin@strefazieleni.org \nDate: 13 to 16 July 2017 \nPlace:  Puszczykowo near Poznan\, Poland \n

SUMMARY:Green Summer Gathering: Edition 2016 in Belgium
DESCRIPTION:This year’s edition of Les Rencontres Ecologiques d’Eté (Green Summer Gathering) featured many insightful workshops\, debates and lectures. Information about the programme and registration is available at Etopia’s website. During this occasion\, the Green European Foundation contributed with two special debates about the present and future of the European Union. \nThe first debate was held on Saturday\, the 27th of August\, from 09h30 to 10h45. This roundtable addressed the “why EU” question: Why the EU? Is the EU dream over? Why should we keep working hard on it? Does it represent the best way to insure progress in Europe? Special inputs on these matters were provided by professor Tanguy de Wilde (University of Louvain). \nOur second debate took place right after – between 10h45 and 12h00\, and focused more on “how EU” question in relation to this year’s challenges\, such as the situation in Greece\, issues with refugee policies and Brexit. How do we re-dynamise the EU project and make it “popular” again? How to tackle and approach this? Should the priority be institutional (more democracy\, more transparency)? Should it be economical? Should we create a different approach to some challenges\, such as the refugee policies? And how to contain the influence of the lobbies in all this? The list of speakers included: \n\nPhilippe Pochet (European Trade Union Institute);\nJean Quatremer (Correspondant at Libe à Bxl);\nJean De munck (Professor of Sociology at UCL);\nVivien Pertusot (Head of IFRI);\nPhilippe Lamberts (Co-President of the Greens/EFA).\n\nBoth debates were held with simultaneous translation in French and English. More information about them can be found on this webpage.

SUMMARY:Green Academy "TIPPING POINTS" in Croatia
DESCRIPTION:Under the title ”Tipping points”\, the fifth edition of this summer university provided 6 days of intensive programme for a very diverse group of 150 participants from more than 20 countries\, including Latin America and U.S. For the first time City of Komiza was hosting the Green Academy\, which programme was conducted in public spaces. \nProgramme was organised in three working modules (Commons\, Degrowth and Climate Justice) and was focused on exchange of theoretical  insights and practical experiences of scholars\, practitioners\, activists and experts.  Intense exchange has taken place between European scholars and their Latin American counterparts which have demonstrated some of the most interesting lessons from previous decade.  Among many relevant speakers\, guests of the Green Academy were Boris Buden\, Hilary Wainright\, Daniel Chavez\, Joan Martinez Alier\, Jagoda Munić\, Pablo Solon\, Giacommo D’Allisa\, Barb Jacobson\, Edgardo Lander\, Kira Vinke\, Branon Andersen and Srećko Horvat. Apart from modules\, participants were also involved in plenary debates where political implications of current political situations were broadly discussed. \nParticipants were able to take part in many cutting edge discussions which are currently relevant at European level and have a first hand experience and exchange with contributors. As a working framework was also relevant for broadening epistemic community gravitating to political ecology at European level and exchange platform between different organisations and groups. It has proven to be a very safe environment to articulate demands for more interesectionality on the Left and for feminisation of politics while at the same time offering visions that comply with ideas of internationalism\, sufficiency and solidarity. \nWorking languages of the academy were Croatian and English. \nThe final programme is available here. \nMORE INFO: \nMore information about this event available at IPE website and Facebook.
