Hello,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is James, and I volunteer with the 2050 Climate Group, a youth-led charity dedicated to educating, engaging, and empowering young people to lead the transition to a just and sustainable society.
We are excited to announce the launch of our 3rd Climate Action Leadership Programme (CALP)! This initiative reflects our volunteers' dedication and hard work, and we are thrilled to share it with you.
I am reaching out to all the community councils in Scotland that I can with the hope to increase our connections all over Scotland and especially outwith the central belt. Below gives all the details about us and the programme. It would be great if you can share it with the young people within your organisation and in your community.
About the Programme
The Climate Action Leadership Programme (CALP) is a free and flexible opportunity designed to equip young people aged 18-35 with the leadership skills and climate change knowledge needed to take meaningful action. CALP builds on a decade of experience to offer our most comprehensive, inclusive, and accessible learning experience yet. The programme includes:
Free for All Everything for our learning programme is free and we also offer support through our participation fund to reduce financial barriers.Flexible Learning A mix of in-person and online content.Field Trips Hands-on experiences to see climate action in motion.Skill Building Workshops and activities to develop practical leadership skills.Community Connection Opportunities to connect with a supportive network of like-minded peers.
Why This Matters
The programme is open to young people aged 18-35 in Scotland who are eager to enhance their leadership skills in climate action. It is designed to be accessible to everyone, of all backgrounds and experience levels. Unlike many personal development opportunities that target those with university-level qualifications or more disposable income, CALP is free to attend, with financial support available to remove any cost barriers.
How You Can Help
We would greatly appreciate your support in promoting this opportunity to the young people within your networks, and any promotion of the programme online would be greatly appreciated. Our goal is to reach a diverse audience, especially young people who have yet to become active in the climate movement. By sharing this programme, you can help empower the next generation of climate leaders.
