The Push Europe coordinating team is made up of a core group of dedicated volunteers. The coordinators are there to initiate discussion on campaigns, to organise action days and to keep communication going between groups. When it comes to big strategic decisions we make sure there is consensus among all our groups – the aim of the coordinating team is to facilitate the decision-making process.
