Last weekend in Brussels, more than 180 Green actors, activists, civil society representatives, and thinkers from over 30 countries came together for the #EuropeanGreenAcademy2026 and left with something much deeper than inspiration alone.

✨ It's a wrap! After six days of workshops, discoveries and shared moments, the #GreenhouseTraining has come to an end. Watching our participants dive into the big questions around #tech, #democracy, and the kind of future we want to build with such curiosity and openness has been truly inspiring.

📣 Days 4 & 5 of #GreenhouseTraining were all about politics, ideas and the art of argumentation. Participants stepped into the shoes of political advisors, crafting green strategies on tech & democracy and putting them to the test in a mock debate.

✨ Day 3 of #GreenhouseTraining was a special one! We took the training out of the room to ground ourselves in the local context, where we had the privilege of meeting a collective of workers at the GKN Factory in Campi Bisenzio.

❇️ Greens, tech & democracy - Day 2 of the #GreenhouseTraining brought it all together!

➡️ Yesterday #GreenhouseTraining officially kicked off! After welcoming our participants, we opened the door to six days of workshops, interactive exercises and plenty of exchanges around #GreenActivism, #Technology, #Democracy & more to come! 🌱
