Letter of Motivation

01.03.2004: Ska Keller, Beisitzerin im Bundesvorstand der GRÜNEN JUGEND, kandidiert auf der General Assembly der FYEG in Oxford für das Executive Committee. Hier erzählt sie euch, wieso.

Hi there!

I'm applying for the position of Campaign Co-ordinator of FYEG. I'm highly motivated to spend my energy in FYEG and get things moving! I've been working with FYEG for more than a year now and I can say that this year was the most inspirating, motivating and exciting year in my political life. FYEG has the power to change the world because it gathers the potentials of thousands of active peoples in its MOs. Young greens from all over Europe come together to exchange ideas and discuss their points of view on various topics. They discouver a lot of similarities and find ways to communicate their different opinions. This "spirit of FYEG" has given me a lot of energy for my daily life which I want to give to the FYEG, too.
Still there are things that can be improved. Communication for instance is still not floating perfectly. As EC, Prep Teams and MOs cannot meet regulary it's important to find new ways of exchanging information. For istance having phone conferences more often, improving the mailing system and - this one you will hear more often from me - create a new and effective website that has space for projects, press realeases, MO news and also has an internal section for internal communication.

My vision of FYEG is a strong network of young green organisations that

  • is working together with the E(F)GP, offers a continously high number of educational activities such as Study Sessions and seminars;
  • has a lot of active people working in all the different organisations for FYEG;
  • has very good contacts to all of its MOs; has good and effective campaigns;
  • solves its financial problems to have a basis of money for free use (annual costs, office etc) and
  • never looses its green visions and keeps on struggling for a green Europe!

With my experience in international and regional youth work, with my knowledge, my interest in all your experience and the motivation you gave and still give to me I think I can contribute a lot to help the green dream come true!

Yesiler selamlar - green greetings Ska Keller
