We actively participate in social debate and decision-making at the municipal, regional and national level, both within the party and in civil society. We act as a way for the member to participate in the city’s decision-making, we make statements on political issues concerning Turku and its region, and we also participate in the wider social debate with opinion pieces and publications. In addition, our association organizes events, participates in the organization of elections and represents the region in Green youth events, such as the annual union meeting.
