Fundacja Strefa Zieleni - with the support of the Green European Foundation, Heinrich
Böll Foundation in Warsaw and the European Parliament – carries out the second
Green Summer Academy : “ Hope and cope”
in Puszczykowo near Poznan, on 13-16 July 2017
After good experiences of 2015 and 2016 we continue to carry out a Green Summer Academy in
Poland. We will meet in an extremely important year for EU, with the Brexit negociations, the
elections in France, Germany and Netherlands, the imprevisibility of US new president Donald
Trump and the crisis of democracy in Poland and Hungary. That makes many features that will
directly and indirectly impact the progress of the global climate policy and the implementation of
the Paris Agreement. Next year’s municipal election in Poland makes us focus on the role of
regions and cities in the transition into low carbon societies, and in other progressive
transformations. We will check if the European Pact of Amsterdam can play a role in this transition.
One of the cornerstones of the green vision of the world is sustainable development, for which the
preservation for the uture generations of pure environment and of nature reach in biodiversity is as
important as the short term economic efficiency and social justice. Therefore, our Green Summer
Universities give to the participants an opportunity to enter into a direct relationship with living
nature and thus provide them with additional knowledge, sensitivity and motivation for its protection
and political representation of its interests. The mega projects of transeuropean waterways that
threat the principal Polish rivers, together with badly implemented Water Frame Directive, make of
water ecosystems the principal interest of ecological outdoor expeditions during this third Green
Summer Academy, located in the heart of the Natural Park of Great Poland.

As Eastern European countries share many challenges specific to post-communism, we invite
Green representatives from Czech Republic and Hungry, but also from our no-UE neighbour
country, Ukraine. We will exchange views and experiences and learn from each other. The
presence of city movements, NGOs, grass root activists will help to develop a direct cooperations
in the future, in continuty to the European Ideas Lab launched in February 2017 by the European
Greens.
Times came when we really need to learn and debate on what people consider as the most
important, ie economics and economic activity. We invite you to the seminar „Green Economy at
Green Summer Academy 2017” organized by Fundacja Strefa Zieleni in partnership with
Heinrich Böll Foundation in Warsaw, as an independent element of the GSA. A lecture of
introduction and a general debate on Friday, followed by two more specific workshops on Saturday
will let you make your opinion on the different concepts that Greens propose or suport as
responses to the growing challenges of the modern world. We will study not only general
directions, but also specific local solutions.
In Puszczykowo we open ourselves to the problems of the local community, in the heart of the
National Park of Great Poland, which celebrates its 60th anniversary. We bend over the lives of
people and their coexistence with precious nature, in close proximity to the city of Poznan.

THE FUTURE OF EUROPE AND OF POLAND IN EU
“Europe after Brexit. Will the Green transition still be possible?”– debate
This debate is as a part of international GEF project “The potential impact of Brexit on the
prospects for a Green transition in Europe” (Streaming, webinar or videoconference)
Introduction: Philippe Lamberts video, GGEP
Debate: Dr Ray Cunningham (Green House think-tank, UK), Lucile Schmid (GEF/FEP, France), prof.
John Barry (Green Foundation, Irlandia), Marek Kossakowski (Partia Zieloni), representative
(female) from Czech Greens?, Kuba Gogolewski (Koalicja Rozwój TAK – odkrywki NIE)-tbc.,
representative of Green European Journal - tbc
Moderator: Ewa Sufin-Jacquemart (FSZ) and/or Bartłomiej Kozek (GEJ)
Brexit will have a huge impact on the UK and EU economies and on virtually every area of policy,
which makes informed policy and public discussion of that impact and the choices that will have to
be made to deal with it a necessity. Beyond that, it calls into question the coherence and
effectiveness of the EU as a polity, and as a vehicle for the Green movement. Greens are
committed to the belief that European countries can make the transition to sustainability
more quickly as a coordinated polity (the EU) than as individual states or societies but this
assumption may need to be re-examined.
