Dear John! 

 

This is a special edition of our newsletter. In just over a week, around 1,000 Greens from all over Europe will meet in Copenhagen to keep up the fight for a Greener and more just future!  

 

This Congress will be a decisive moment for us. It takes place in the middle of the war in Ukraine, an energy and food crisis, and a cost of living crisis. At the same time, climate catastrophes are increasing in frequency and intensity.   

 

As Greens, we don't shy away from the responsibility to find solutions for these crises.

 

In this email we will give you an insight into the Congress programme, speakers and decision-making. Next week, we will send you another email with all the details about how you can attend the Congress when you're not in Copenhagen. 

 

Venlig Hilsen 

 

Your EGP team!

Exhibition: MY BODY MY CHOICE

As part of the Congress, we will host an art exhibition on the topic of sexual and reproductive health and rights. Through the MY BODY MY CHOICE exhibition, we want to highlight artworks that engage with the issue of abortion rights in Europe. Collected through an open call to artists, the exposition is a collection of art illustrations, photography, artworks, media art, online projects, installations and sounds. Presenting her work at the exposition will be, among others, Kasia Strek, Polish photojournalist and winner of several international prizes and scholarships.
