The European Green Party’s Communication Network (EGP Comms Network Meeting) held its annual meeting in Brussels. This year’s theme was “From Inspiration to Action.” The Bulgarian Green Party was represented by Stefan Radev, member of the Executive Board.
The event began in the European Parliament, with greetings from Bas Eickhout, Simon McKeighney and Alison Abrahams, and continued with a series of panels, workshops and discussions dedicated to contemporary communication challenges.
Among the highlights were the extremely interesting lectures by Arun Chowdhury (the first official White House videographer under Obama) on communication in the era of the rise of the far right and by Clare O’Donoghue Velikich on how the Greens can “win social networks without advertising”.
