Green Spaces: Jargon Buster
Green Spaces is our member-discussion platform, to allow you to connect, and organise with other Green Party members. It's a vital part of our policy-making process, but can be used to discuss a whole host of topics. In this guide we'll go through some of the terms you may see when using Green Spaces.
Spaces is accessed via the Green Party Members' Website. If you're having trouble logging in check out this guide: How to login to the Members website and Green Spaces using the new Login.

- Activities: Activities are actions such as liking or commenting on a post.
- Messages: These are direct messages sent to or received by you. They're not public like updates posted to Spaces.
- Profile: Exactly what it says on the tin. Every user has a profile where they can update their picture, or other details they want to share with other members.
Spaces
- Space: A Space is an only group discussion area. They can exist for local, regional, or self-organised groups. There are also spaces to discuss, and contribute to policy-making.
