Strengthening the Greens: Extra-parliamentary Collaboration and youth wings

Session organised at the EGP Council, Karlstad, 24 November , 13:30 - 15:15

Greens have traditionally been a political party, which is constantly renewing and reinventing itself. They did so by taking new movements and the youth wings serious and through collaborating with these new emerging movements. As Green politics becomes more established, autonomous youth wings play an increasingly important role. Young Greens often collaborate more freely with new movements in their campaigns. Young Greens have a fresh view on Green politics and they are not afraid to get out and meet new movements and learn from them. During this session we explore different recent examples of collaborations that have strengthened the Greens as a whole.
