It is not that sort of conventional conference or set of workshops…it is more like a snow ball that has started rolling and will continue till we see the Greens as majorities in most of the parliaments around the world…The "enthusiasm-ometer" scored the highest Green indications and we need to keep it going, If you are a Green or not I recommend that you attend the next Green Summer University as you will witness some Green paradigm shifts and multi-cultural Green input…Go Greens…Go Green
However there is a link between the Green ideology and Anarchism that some consider very strong and others consider the Green anarchists are an extreme for the Green ideology especially for primitivists (while Green Anarchists should not necessarily be primitivists).
One simple link is that one of the most important values the Greens are oriented with is resources and sustainable management for the earth`s resources, while one of the most values the anarchists are oriented with is a method of management based on a stateless theory.
An example for that is building eco-villages managed by an anarchist methodology.
The Green anarchist is also oriented with the impact of the method of management of a state with limited number of personnel controlling the resources and taking decisions based on their own good only which contradicts with the Greens ideology for grassroots democracy, social justice and non-violence while sometimes the "state" use "violence" for the good of the personnel in charge.
Lots of books & theories have been issued about Green anarchism, I invite you to read the above mentioned Wikipedia links, however I believe that Green anarchism has current and previous examples and applications in Africa, Middle east & South east Asia.
An initiative by some Egyptian activists named Tahrir council is aiming at setting certain qualities & specific criteria for the candidates of the coming Egyptian parliamentary elections and basically aiming at supporting youth and encouraging them to positively play a role in the change.
A twitter methodology was suggested & shared simply using hash tags as follows :
A hash tag for the initiative: #Tahrircouncil #Egparliament2011 plus a hash tag of the zone for example #Giza #Cairo #Alex …..then stating problems of the zone , proposed candidates that the initiative supports , updates & violations.
The leaders of the Egyptian Green Party have held few meetings with the founders of a new Green Party in Libya around 2 and half months ago, in order to support them and discuss means of cooperation.
The Egyptian Green Party support the new Libyan Green Party, we congratulate the Libyan people for their revolution and pursuit for a democratic, free and peaceful Libya.
The Egyptian Green Party is looking forward fruitful cooperation between the countries of North Africa supported by the Green parties as a common ideology that may play an important role in such cooperation.
