York to host Young Greens Convention

In a video released today, Young Greens announced their 2017 Annual Convention would be held at the University of York on the 11th and 12th of November.

Convention is where the Young Greens, the youth and student wing of the Green Party, discuss policy, hold training sessions, and elect a new leadership committee.

There is no specific location given, but York’s campus has previously hosted Natalie Bennett and Jonathon Bartley, former and current co- leader of the Green Party, as well as Tim Farron and Vince Cable, former and current leaders of the Liberal Democrats.

During the 2017 General Election, York played host to a BBC Question Time special featuring Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn. The show was the only time both potential PMs were interviewed in the same program.
