E-PARLIAMENT MEETINGS - YOUNG ASK FOR A GREENER FUTURE

As WALD, we consider it important to integrate today's technologies into the democratic field, especially to increase the participation of young people in this field. In this direction, we started the "e-parliament", an online platform where young people can come together with the leader, within the WALD Youth Academy.
