Call for prep team - Summer camp 2025
The Federation of Young European Greens is excited to announce an open call for members of the international Preparatory Team for “Summer Camp: Policies of Today and Tomorrow.” This international activity will take place from 26–31 July 2025 in Poland.
This six-day event will focus on the legal and political dimensions of policies at the European and national/regional levels. Participants will learn what policies are, how to evaluate them, and engage in activities that explore concrete regulatory proposals in detail. They will also develop their own social justice policy assessment projects, applying their newly gained skills to support FYEG’s social justice campaign.
This event builds on the understanding of social justice developed during the European Lab: Social Justice, Here and Now, which connects human and animal rights together with environmental justice, for a truly modern and actual understanding of social justice.
The activity will be divided into three learning blocks, featuring introductory sessions, skill-building training, thematic explorations, and creative output development.
Objectives
Through this event, we aim to:
Explore what policies are, their components, and what makes them effective or ineffective.
Provide space for assessing regulatory solutions in various policy areas, evaluating the pros and cons of different legislative and political decisions.
Support participants in identifying policy flaws and proposing improvements through critical analysis.
