LEARNING OUTCOME

What did you take away from this course? I have a better understanding of the Green movement in Europe. In addition I also received more knowledge about the flaws of the EU as a system. Better awareness of the actual processes carried out by the people involved in, and externally influencing, political decision-making. That EU policies affect citizens more than they realise. The EU needs to be more transparent." I learned about how much power I actually have to influence and change political decisions related to my own future. Until this time, I did not really have a deep knowledge about green activism and parties, but now I feel like I know more about this topics, and the actual problems, than the average person.
