The EFAY is a youth organisation made up of members who belong to organizations, movements or political parties that safeguard and promote the cultural, linguistic and national diversity of Europe. The EFAY therefore is a federation of the youth branches of regionalist political parties and organizations throughout Europe, who are actively engaged at the State-Regional and European levels. Our members work towards a greater recognition of European diversity. Although it is a pro-European organisation, the EFAY believes in a different European model to the one which is being offered at the moment. Opposed to the idea of a Europe of the States and the present European model. EFAY’s vision is of a Europe that upholds and celebrates national diversity against State assimilation and uniformity. The EFAY is in favour of a ‘Europe of the Peoples’; a Europe that respects and protects its different national minorities and identities, languages and cultures; and believes in a Europe that upholds the principle of subsidiarity, supports and encourages self-determination, campaigns effectively for social justice and environmental protection and pursues progressive democracy and recognises diversity.

The Spanish Young Greens were founded 2005, when Young Green members from all over Spain met and decided to launch a Green youth organization for all young people attracted to and interested in social and political ecology. Young people from all over Spain started to work together and federate energies in a common movement!
One of the Spanish Young Greens desires is to convert ecology not only into a theoretical way of thinking but also into a practical tool for young people looking for a real everyday commitment. That’s why JV is an open and flexible structure capable of integrating many categories of young people, students and young workers, not just those already convinced by all Green commitments and already members of the Spanish Green Party.
