Results of the meeting

 

Declaration

As the SmileForFuture meeting was not a representative meeting, decisions on the Fridays for Future movement as a whole could not be made.
The participants of the summit agreed together on a non-binding declaration describing the movement, its shared values and core demands.

Working Papers

Working Papers are documents elaborated during the summit that have gotten wide approval in plenary session but either need to be approved in a Fridays for Future representative meeting or are not at exact final stage.
Those documents will be receiving feedback to be used at the next FFF representative summit.

 

Structure

During the week, the working group “Strategy and Operational Goals” elaborated a structure that aims at improving the work and coordination at international level. Strong emphasis has been put on independence of the working groups to tackle the difficult reality of international coordination.
