Feminist Climate Ambassadors – Safety and Trust

About the event

We aim to build bridges across Europe for feminist climate change advocates and activists. This training will equip selected Feminist Climate Ambassadors with the tools needed to get their message through in their own region and media, to support sustainable and feminist community-level impact across Europe. In addition, the training provides space for more political-level conversation on the intersections of gender and climate change.
The fifth meeting revolves around the themes of safety and trust. How can we create and promote the creation of safer and more equal spaces, meetings, and conversations, virtually and physically? What concrete measures can we take to promote constructive dialogue and make all voices heard and everyone safe and accepted?
