We are co-designing a new learning journey focusing on youth leadership for climate resilience and regeneration. The online learning journey will take place from September 2025 to January 2026, and is open to all aspiring climate leaders between 18 and 35 years of age.
All our learning journeys are co-designed with the young people we wish to support. Our co-design process with 8 young people from Africa, Asia, America and Europe will take place from April to May 2025. In addition, if you are between 18 and 35, you are welcome to share with us what and how you would like to learn about climate resilience and regeneration, by filling out a survey here.
The results of the survey will be made available on our ‘We are One Resilient Earth’ learning community platform, which you are welcome to join here.
What is the purpose of this project?
As global temperatures keep rising, we need to acquire the knowledge, tools and skills to limit and deal with the damage that climate change is doing to our health, our family, our community and our ecosystem. We also need to develop the capacities to continue engaging with climate change, in a world that is hit by multiple crises, polarisation, volatility and uncertainty.
This means that we need to build climate resilience through creativity, courage, collaboration, caring communities and ecosystem regeneration. In turn this requires transforming how we understand ‘youth leadership’ and ‘climate leadership’ through transnational dialogues and responsible experimentations.
What will the learning journey look like?
The learning journey is still being co-designed with and by young people coming from around the world. However, we already know that it will consist of a series of interactive online workshops, scheduled monthly from September 2025 to January 2026. Tentative dates and topics are the following:
- September 16th: Meeting climate chaos: Why leading for climate resilience today?
- October 7th: Beyond burning out and shutting down: How can we sustain emotional wellbeing while pursuing transformative change?
- November 4th: Facing the systems that harm us: How can we decolonize and ground our approach to climate resilience leadership?
- December 2nd: Looking within: What could be your role in co-creating just, climate-resilient and regenerative futures?
- January 13th: Growing movements: How will we continuously regenerate ourselves, our communities and our ecosystems in a world of climate instability?
For each workshop, we will invite an inspiring expert, practitioner or Elder, and will provide live emotional support to our learners.
In between workshops, learners will have access to our online community platform to access complementary learning resources, view recordings of the sessions, and connect with other participants in the learning journey.
How can you join?
The learning journey will be free and open to a maximum of 200 participants. If you would like to express interest in joining the learning journey, please fill out this form and we will be in touch as soon as registrations are open.
This project is co-funded by the Deutsche Postcode Lottery.
