Education for Europe – Building Capacities Towards and Beyond 2019 (Brussels)

By

Context

The Green European Foundation (GEF) invites organisations invested in strengthening the European green movement to join its annual networking and capacity building meeting on education and training. This year’s special edition is entitled “Education for Europe – building capacity towards and beyond 2019” and will take place in Brussels on June 5 to 7, 2018.  

Over the past decade, GEF has built expertise in capacity building as integral part of its work programme through online courses, face-to-face trainings across Europe such as the European Green Activists Training or our Fundraising Training for projects on Migration and Asylum. In this spirit, “Education for Europe – building capacity towards and beyond 2019” will serve as a platform for political discussions on the role of training for advancing activism, as well as an opportunity to identify training and educational needs within the Green network, as well as available resources and inspiring initiatives taking place across Europe. The meeting will combine formal and non-formal training and facilitation methods.  

About the event  

This year’s edition is aimed at GEF’s members and partner’s foundations, as well as other NGOs, citizen movements, educational institutes, youth organisations and green parties active in the field of education, training and capacity-building.  Through this event, participants will be able to:  

  • Engage in a political discussion on the role of capacity-building and trainings ahead of the upcoming European elections; 
  • Create new partnerships with other actors implementing trainings on green topics across Europe;  
  • Expand their knowledge on building successful online learning courses;  
  • Gain knowledge and inspiration on adding a European dimension to their training programmes; 
  • Transfer and gain knowledge on resources and tools that can boost educational projects; 
  • Increase their impact and outreach through expanding and diversifying the green network of trainers and trainings; 
  • Participate in the creation of a governance model for European green pool of trainers and experts.

European Green Activists Training 2015-2016 [VIDEO]

By Uncategorized

This video was produced in 2016 during the study trip to Brussels, which represents the final part of our European Green Activist Training project. This transnational project offers educational opportunities for young people interested in politics and activism. After a series of training in their respective countries, organised together with our national partners, this joint study trip enables the young participants to meet and exchange in Brussels with other Green-minded people from all over Europe. Furthermore, it provides them with a first-hand opportunity to gain knowledge of European politics during their visits to the European Parliament and other European institutions.

Find out what the organisers, coordinators and some of the participants from Finland, Hungary, Czech Republic and Austria, have to say about this experience and receive an impression of their study trip to Brussels in the video below.

Privatisation of Education and Welfare Services

By

In 2014, the project partners looked at five different welfare systems (Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Spain and England), and included an overview of the policies of a sample of European Green parties concerning privatisation of public education and welfare services, such as school and healthcare.

The research was enriched by exchange between the partners and public events to test their ideas. It culminated in the publication of a study which defined common Green principles in welfare policies, showcasing privatisation models that have proved to be successful and in line with Green values, and formulating recommendations for Green parties across Europe.

In 2015, the follow-up project had the objective of deepening the discussion and answering many questions that had been raised in the study, such as: how do we finance welfare in the future? How do we strengthen the third sector in many countries? Is the profit motive compatible with the public interest? How can we regulate the private market? How can we provide opportunities for greater innovation and diversity in public welfare? Several closed and public discussions were organised around these questions.
