CIVIL’s Green Caravan sets off from Skopje

CIVIL’s Green Caravan sets off from Skopje on September 11, with an info stand on the Freedom Square, in front of House of Culture “Koco Racin”, starting at 11.00 am. A statement for the press starts at 11.30 am. Citizens who will visit the stand will have the opportunity to exchange experience and views with CIVIL’s team, and at the same time will be able to participate in the video survey: “Why green? Say your opinion out loud”.

CIVIL’s Green Caravan is dedicated to promotion and strengthening of green values, social justice and antinationalism. Social justice and antinationalism are part of the European and green values that CIVIL has been advocating in its 20 years of existence, and in the past several years also in partnership with the Heinrich Bǒll Foundation, whose regional office is in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

CIVIL’s teams and activists will be travelling across the country and will hold multiple events in cooperation with the municipalities and local civil society organizations. Workshops will be held on the topic “The Greens Are Coming” in Stip, Gostivar, Veles, Kavadarci and Skopje. A series of meetings will be held with citizens also in other municipalities throughout the entire country.

The Green Caravan will end with a national conference dedicated to green values and strategies, as the only sustainable alternative for society and the country. The Green Caravan is part of the project “The Greens Are Coming” that is implemented in cooperation with the Heinrich Bǒll Foundation.

Many activities were implemented in the previous phase of the project, among which the thematic focus groups and media production, of which the columns and analyses published on CIVIL’s media platform, primarily on the internet portal Green CIVIL, can be singled out. Otherwise, Green CIVIL is an organizational unit of CIVIL that was formed nine years after the organization’s establishment in 2009.
