Movement Builders

CLIMATE JUSTICE SPECIAL

A mix of practical tools and theory, Movement Builders is an intensive programme that brings together leaders from across a specific movement to reimagine, strategise, and build relationships that last. You will connect with folks facing similar struggles and develop a deeper understanding of how change is won, inspired by the world's most effective social movement groups. You will leave with budding, relationships from across the movement and the solidarity, analysis, and tactics you need to win; together. The next training will be a CLIMATE JUSTICE SPECIAL, taking place Friday 2nd September to Monday 5th September at an in-person residential.

Who is this training for?

This Movement Builders residential course is for people in the UK who are interested in working collaboratively for climate justice. You might be working on decarbonisation campaigns rooted in analyses of global power and oppression, or helping drive a just transition, re-imagining how good, green jobs will play a role in the economy of the future. You might be firmly focused on a local action, or working to connect climate campaigns to global struggles for justice. You might dedicate yourself to stopping climate movements from replicating racist or colonialist power structures, or be thinking about how to harness the energy of people worried about rising bills and their children’s futures. From fuel poverty to air pollution, if you’re working for solutions to the climate crisis that create a more just world in the process, we want to hear from you.

How long is this training?

Four day residential training.

I really valued the knowledge of trainers, the space that was created was one of the best learning spaces I have been in. I valued having time to build relationships with other people in the movement.
