Time for Change – Feminist Climate Ambassadors Online Training

Context:

Our aim is to build bridges across Europe for feminist climate change advocates and activists. This 9-week training will equip selected Feminist Climate Ambassadors with the tools needed to get their message through in their own region and media. This will support sustainable and feminist community-level impact across the region. In addition, the training provides space for more political level conversation on the intersections of gender and climate change.
