Campusgrün - Federal Association of Green Alternative University Groups is a nationwide student association in Germany. Politically it is close to the Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen party , but according to its statutes it is legally and organizationally independent. According to the association, the party affiliation of the individual university groups is different and covers “the entire student potential in the green alternative spectrum”. The headquarters of the federal office is in Berlin.
history
Since the late 1970s, groups of students have emerged at numerous West German universities who see themselves as green, colorful, alternative, feminist and internationalist . They largely defined themselves through their demarcation from the dogmatic and centralistically structured K groups and other supraregional student associations such as MSB Spartakus , SHB or Juso university groups . Based on this attitude, the groupings of the green-alternative spectrum also rejected the creation of nationwide association structures and only formed a parliamentary group called basic groups within the student umbrella organization VDS . After the collapse of the VDS in 1990, however, this common identity lost its importance, and in the course of the 1990s the spectrum differentiated itself based on its relationship to the alliance Greens.
Thus, in the early 1990s, a loose federal coordination of groups close to green arose. Those groups that were increasingly skeptical of the party's political course formed the Alliance of Left and Radical Democratic University Groups (LiRa) in 1998 , which later became largely part of Die Linke.SDS .
In 1999 ten green university groups founded the alliance of green alternative university groups . In 2005, the alliance was given the addition of campus green and, following a further reform of the statutes in 2011, finally got its current name.
structure
Campus Green currently has 70 member groups; the gradual admission of all existing green-related university groups is sought.
Members' meetings are held twice a year, at which each university group is represented by up to two voting delegates. The general assembly elects the federal executive board, which leads the day-to-day business and represents the alliance internally and externally on the basis of the current resolution. The quoted board consists of two equal speakers, a treasurer, a political director and up to four assessors. The general assembly can also set up working groups.
The first regional association, Campusgrün Bayern, has existed since 2007. Campusgrün Baden-Württemberg followed in 2009 and Campusgrün Hessen in 2010. In 2011, nine North Rhine-Westphalian green university groups founded the North Rhine-Westphalia state coordination. The Lower Saxony State Association was founded in 2014 and currently consists of five member groups.
