Green Learning at the EGP Council (Berlin)

By

Green Learning

Mobilising activists is at the core of the green movement in Europe. We understand that equipping them with the right knowledge and skills is crucial in an ever-changing world and complex political environment. The vision behind Green Learning is to combine different methods and learning styles, and to allow for meaningful conversations to take place across borders.

After building expertise with its first e-course Impact Europe, which attracted nearly 1500 learners, the Green European Foundation will launch at the European Green Party Council Green Learning, a capacity-building website which brings together e-courses in multiple languages, webinars, training events and much more.

If you want to hear the story of a new tool that redefines how greens campaign, educate, counter hate speech or win, join our inspiring workshop.

Impact Europe: Online Course for Green Activists

By

Within the framework of the Capacity Building programme, the Green European Foundation, together with the Green Group in the European Parliament, developed an online educational platform, which is currently hosting the Impact Europe module – an online course, primarily for young, green-minded citizens, who want to influence the decisions made at European level and shape their own future. Throughout this course, we analyse the past, present and future of the EU, the battles Greens carry continuously at European level and why they matter, as well as ways in which you can become engaged in order to shape the future of Europe – the Europe you want to live in.

WHAT IS THE COURSE ABOUT?

Based on unique content, this course serves as a stimulating learning environment which provides a critical understanding of the EU and the functioning of its institutions. Impact Europe addresses some of the most pressing issues in Europe: the Future of the European Union, Trade, Environment and Food Safety, Migration etc. as well as giving insights into Green political movement and an opportunity to discover ways to be part of a European network of activists. You can watch our campaign video below.

WHO CAN TAKE PART?

The course is free and open to everyone. All participants who complete the course will be rewarded with a certificate co-signed by the Green European Foundation and the Greens/EFA in the European Parliament. Furthermore, they will get a chance to become a part of the Alumni Network with access to other exciting opportunities, such as internships, traineeships and vacancies.

Teaming up with the European Green Party to make the course more accessible, Impact Europe is available in English, French, Spanish, and Polish.
