Open Governance & Participation

Around 120 young Europeans came together at The European Youth Dialogue (EYD) in the city of Thessaloniki, the European Youth Capital 2014. The event, which took place a few weeks before the elections for the European Parliament, is part of a series of youth events organised by the Heinrich-Böll-Foundation in different countries aiming to provide spaces for youth debates and networking throughout Europe in the pre-electoral period.

In November 2013 Heinrich Böll Foundation Greece in cooperation with the Ecological Movement of Thessaloniki organized a series of training seminars which targeted at different groups with the purpose of training on the management and organization of NGOs, environmental education and reflection over issues on energy production and alternative heating systems.
