We want to identify 5 people who could be the next generation of Green MPs. From getting elected to making sure your voice is heard amongst hundreds of others MPs, it takes someone incredibly talented and hard working to get elected under the first past the post system.

To build on the Green surge we need to field strong, inspiring and dedicated candidates, both in our target seats and wider afield.

So Generation Green is all about talent spotting in our Party.

It will then give future general candidates the kinds of opportunities, training and preparation that their rivals in the other political parties have always accessed. There is an open application process and 5 people will be selected against the criteria below to be part of a training and mentoring programme led by Cath Miller, Chief of Staff for Caroline Lucas MP. It will include media training, the chance to spend time in Parliament and learn about the work of an MP, access to specialist policy briefings and individual mentoring.

If you have any questions or need further information please contact Cath by emailing caroline.lucas@greenparty.org.uk
