Call for Youth Workers & Community Workers to Join Us

Join us for the second year of Community Climate Action: Practitioners Training Programme.

This residential programme will equip practitioners to support young people and communities, making their voices heard for equitable climate action.

Friends of the Earth, with support from Community Work Ireland (CWI), the National Youth Council of Ireland (NYCI) and the National Women’s Council (NWC), are joining forces to deliver an innovative programme upskilling youth work and community work practitioners to play a vital role in embedding social justice in the transition to a decarbonised and climate resilient future. 

When: 9th-11th May

Where: Cloughjordan Eco Village, Tipperary

Following last year’s training, we have developed a facilitator’s handbook to support practitioner’s to bring these activities back to their groups

Over three days, participants will explore the intersections between social and climate justice, diving deep into several essential issues for local climate justice and a just transition, including: 

• Strengthening personal resilience/emotional capacity in the face of climate crisis.
• Learn from guest speakers, facilitators and peers
• Building powerful and inclusive participatory democracy.
• Fostering collective local resilience in our food, energy and economic systems.
• Supporting justice and solidarity in the transition locally, nationally and globally.

This course has been Quality Assured by AIEB for CPD. Participants will receive a certificate of participation upon completion of the training.
