Green Academy

An article based on a lecture about the state of democracy during war: what limitations can be justified, how is criticism of the government possible in conditions of hostilities, whether democracy can be preserved without harming victory, and vice versa - whether it can become a condition for this victory.

This text provides answers to some of the key questions currently arising in discussions about European semi-democratic systems. In particular, it addresses issues related to war, self-defense, and the role of democracy in the context of weaponry.

The Green Academy is an annual educational program. During the week, 25 participants from various fields discuss and reflect on green topics: gender equality, participatory democracy and environmental protection.

Already the third week-long summer school took place in August 2020 with 20 civil activists, female researchers, and media professionals taking part.

The second Green Academy — a summer school on strategies and principles of German Green democrats — took place between June 30 and July 7.
