📢 #ProgressivesSpeakUp | Join our School of young local politicians in Seville on 26-27 November
👋 We are very happy to share with you some great news!
Together with the Network of Young Councillors of the Young European Socialists (YES), we are proud to host the second edition of our “#ProgressivesSpeakUp: School of young local politicians”, a training for young local and regional elected leaders.
It will take place on 26-27 November 2021 in Seville, Spain, a city led by our member, mayor Juan Espadas.
🌍 This year’s School will focus on an important priority of European progressives: the European Green Deal.
Promoting clean public transport, renewable energy, affordable housing, green jobs - from Paris to Lisbon, Budapest to Malmö, progressive politicians are leading the fight from the ground for a more sustainable Europe in which no people and no places are left behind.
On Friday 26 November, we will kick off the School in the afternoon with a study visit to three local projects on sustainable development. You will then have then the opportunity to take part in a public event with many progressive leaders on “Just a Green Deal or a Just Green Deal? The perspective of progressive regions and cities”.
On Saturday 27 November, we will continue the School with workshops to share progressive local stories, learn about mobilisation strategies, debate with a bunch of inspiring speakers and come up with new ideas together for a local and just Green Deal.
