Mission and Objectives

FYEG was founded with the purpose of bringing together young environmental and Green political groups from all over Europe to encourage both mutual understanding and mutual action to promote a greener Europe. The purpose of the federation is to strive for environmental and social justice.
The basis of the activities of FYEG is our political work on a European level, in a European political space. This is not limited to lobbying inside the European Parliament. FYEG is also involved on a street level, running campaigns together with its Member Organisations. At the same time it is not afraid of lifting topics and relevant questions from the local organisations, supporting them and spreading them throughout the network.

Main Projects / Activities

FYEG arranges seminars, study sessions, camps, political debates, training sessions and so on, in different parts of Europe. 
FYEG also organises campaigns on essential political themes. Among the recent ones have been the Green Economy Seminar, which presented young activists with he basics of green economy.
A vast majority of our members are under 30 years of age and all our events are planned and run by young unpaid activists from across Europe.
