You’ll be invited to reflect on the political questions emerging from your own context before arriving\, helping shape discussions and peer learning throughout the programme.\n\n\nConnecting across cohorts — bringing together alumni from the first two editions of the Greenhouse Training and strenthening relationships across Europe.\n\n\nSmall-scale and personalised approach — focus on responding to needs and providing resources and guidance for you to take the next step in your political journey.\n\n\nWho should apply\nPlease note: If you have not participated in a previous edition of The Greenhouse: Training for Activists\, you are not eligible to apply.
