INTERVIEW with Gesine Agena at the GYG congress 2010 in Berlin (Sprecherin, GRÜNE JUGEND Germany)
11.08.2010: For the Green Youth Germany the congress in Berlin is quite a good way of getting in touch with the other green youth organisations. Gesine Agena, spokeswoman of GRÜNE JUGEND Germany, is also visiting the GLOBAL YOUNG GREENS in the Heinrich-Böll-Foundation in Berlin.
Gesine, nice having you here. Could you give us a classification of the congress,please.
Gesine:It’ s just so so great. So many people from around the world are here, the atmosphere is incredible. What languages the participants speak does not matter, everyone approaches on everybody.
What are the GLOBAL YOUNG GREENS capable of?
Gesine: There are so may crisis around the world. They are not local ones, they expand in a globalized world. So we can only solve them globally. I’m thinking of such problems the governments aren’t able to neogate like the imbalance of the South and the North, which can’t operate on the South’s charge.
What do you expect from the congress in general?
Gesine: Climate protection and global justice are the main topic to discuss here. I think that is the task of the congress.
Are there any wishes you would like to send to the GLOBAL YOUNG GREENS?
Gesine: I hope the GYG will have a louder voice in the upcoming climate negotiation. Therefore it would be best if the attendees kept contact. More congresses should be held, so the world can go greener. I wish that the GLOBAL YOUNG GREENS capture the energy of this congress and that their now expanded network will make global actions somewhat simpler. GO GREEN.
