Tampere to host 30th European Green Party Council! [3]

[3]

Hello!

We hope you are feeling refreshed after the summer break and wish you all
the best in whatever you may be doing as the Autumn political term gets
underway.

The next big event on our horizon is the European Green Party Council that
will be taking place between 8-10 November in Tampere in Finland. This will
be a unique opportunity to get to know the Finnish Greens who are currently
in a coalition government in Finland, meet Green leaders from across Europe
and chart a way forward as we stand on the cusp of a new decade.

If you haven’t signed up yet to attend this very exciting European Green
Party event, we urge you to do so now! Looking forward to seeing you in
Tampere in November!

Best regards,
The European Green Party team
