Inge Jooris

Inge Jooris is a writer and communications consultant. She was previously head of communications at KVS, one of Belgium’s largest municipal theatres, and spokesperson for the Flemish Greens. She is current advising Cinquantenaire 2030, a project to transform Brussels’ Cinquantenaire Park into Belgium’s cultural and scientific hotspot, and follows German politics for the Belgian Green parties, Groen and Ecolo.

Because of her years of experience as spokesperson for the Flemish Greens and her now broader view, we asked Inge Jooris to write a monthly column on the work of the German Greens, drawing on her own experience where possible and looking for lessons that could be useful to all European Green parties.
