Climate Emergency Training for those working with young people

This free online course is for youth workers and those working with young people. It will provide you with an understanding of the climate emergency and equip you with the skills and tools to help the young people you work with take climate action.

We are running this course repeatedly over the next few months. This page allows you to book onto the course running on Thursday mornings in March.

COP26 in Glasgow has shown that young people are becoming more aware of and involved in tackling the climate emergency. Those working with young people have a key role in helping them to understand and navigate the challenges that come with it. This training will give you the confidence and knowledge to do this.

This course is accredited by the Carbon Literacy Project and successful participants will receive a Carbon Literacy certificate. Becoming Carbon Literate gives lots of opportunities to enhance youth work practice, to engage young people, build their skills and confidence and amplify their voices in different ways.

This course consists of three Zoom sessions. There is also some learning to do in your own time.

Session 1 – Introduction to climate change and youth work

Session 2 – Climate impacts, climate justice and adaptation

Session 3 – Climate action and communication

This Climate Emergency Training will take place on:

Session 1 - Thursday 3rd March 2022: 10.00 – 12.00 noon

Session 2 - Thursday 10th March 2022: 10.00 – 12.00 noon
