Keen to build your climate action advocacy skills?

Are you interested in community-led climate action?

Do you want to skill up and work with others in your area to take climate action?

Yarra, Darebin and Moreland Councils are partnering on a new program to support people across our cities to take climate action. This could be running campaigns, advocacy, community projects, conversations, arts projects and more!

The nine-session program will run from late April and then again from early September and include a range of speakers. Participants will:

  • Build relationships with others who are committed to taking climate action

  • Hear from people who are active in climate action 

  • Explore what collective local action and advocacy can look like and how to reach out within and beyond your networks

  • Gain skills to plan and run effective campaigns, including using social media and other online tools 

  • Explore working effectively with others, sharing the load and self-care

Up to 75 people will be able to take part in the program — 25 from each Council area.

Applications for the 2021 program are now open. Click here to register your Expression of Interest  by Sunday 14 March.
