In the framework of the Growing Together project, Young Friends of the Earth Europe, invites European Youth to the online training programme on Food Sovereignty. After the cancellation of the physical training in Belgium, its online version will take place from 5th to 9th June 2020!

The training will take the form of a series of webinars (i.e. one to two hours each). The main objective of this online training is to present the project’s values and to promote young people’s demands on agriculture and food sovereignty, especially towards European policy-makers.

Registrations are now opened until Tuesday 2nd June (1:00 pm – CEST)!
