Fundacja Strefa Zieleni- with the support of the Green European Foundation, Heinrich Böll Foundation in Warsaw and the European Parliament–carries out the second
Green Summer Academy: “ Hope and cope”
in Puszczykowo near Poznan, on 13-16 July 2017
After good experiences of 2015 and 2016 we continue to carry out a GreenSummer Academy in Poland. We will meet in an extremely important year for EU, with the Brexit negociations, the elections in France, Germany and Netherlands, the imprevisibility of US new president Donald Trump and the crisis of democracy in Poland and Hungary. That makes many features that will directly and indirectly impact the progressof the global climate policy and the implementation of the Paris Agreement. Next year’s municipal election in Poland makes us focus on the role of regions and cities in the transition into low carbon societies, and in other progressive transformations. We will check if the European Pact of Amsterdam can play a role in this transition. One of the cornerstones of the green vision of the world is sustainable development, for which the preservation for the uture generations of pure environment and of nature reach in biodiversity is as important as the short term economic efficiency and social justice.Therefore, our Green Summer Universities give to the participants an opportunity to enter into a direct relationship with living nature and thus provide them with additional knowledge, sensitivity and motivation for its protection and political representation of its interests.The mega projects of transeuropean waterways that threat the principal Polish rivers, together with badly implemented Water Frame Directive, make of water ecosystems the principal interest of ecological outdoor expeditions during this third Green Summer Academy, located in the heart of the Natural Park of Great Poland.
As Eastern European countries share many challenges specific to post-communism, we inviteGreen representativesfrom Czech Republic and Hungry, but also from our no-UE neighbour country, Ukraine. Wewill exchange views and experiences and learn from each other. The presence of city movements, NGOs,grass root activists will help to develop a direct cooperations in the future, in continuty to the European Ideas Lab launched in February 2017 by the European Greens.
Times came when we really need to learn and debate on what people consider as the most important, ie economics and economic activity. We invite you to the seminar „Green Economy at Green Summer Academy 2017” organized by Fundacja Strefa Zieleni in partnership withHeinrich Böll Foundation in Warsaw, as an independent element of the GSA. A lecture of introduction and a general debate on Friday, followed by two more specific workshops on Saturday will let youmake your opinion on the different concepts that Greens propose or suport as responses to the growing challenges of the modern world.We will study not only general directions, but also specific local solutions.
In Puszczykowo we open ourselves to the problems of the local community, in the heart of the National Park of Great Poland, which celebrates its 60th anniversary.We bend over the lives of people and their coexistence with precious nature, in close proximity to the city of Poznan.

Brexit will have a huge impact on the UK and EU economies and on virtually every area of policy, which makes informed policy and public discussion of that impact and the choices that will have to be made to deal with it a necessity. Beyond that, it calls into question the coherence and effectiveness of the EU as a polity, and as a vehicle for the Green movement. Greens are committed to the belief that European countries can make the transition to sustainability more quickly as a coordinated polity (the EU) than as individual states or societies but this assumption may need to be re-examined.
