Meetings are also hosted at every Council of the European Green Party, and these are accessible to all event participants.

Future of Europe Working Group
The working group creates a space for inclusive discussions on the future of the European project.
It covers topics such as what it means to be European, what the current state of the European Union is, and what Greens can do to contribute to shaping its future.

The working group meets approximately four times a year and includes the participation of external experts. Furthermore, it organises public events at least once a year.
