Ausrtalian Youth Climate Coaltion Training

Australian Youth Climate Coalition: Newcastle Training

Date: Saturday the 12th of March 9.30am-5pm

Venue: 67 Scott st, Joy Cummings Centre, Newcastle

The Australian Youth Climate Coalition is building a generation-wide movement to solve climate change. Our alliance combines our forces, leveraging our collective power to create change for a clean, efficient, just and renewable energy future. We inspire, educate, empower and mobilise young Australians to take action on climate change through short-term political impact and long-term cultural change.

We are running a Climate Change and sustainability leadership training day in Newcastle in under 3 weeks. This event aims to educate, inspire and empower young people to take action on Climate Change in the Newcastle community. Participants will learn skills from experienced youth climate leaders in the areas of climate science, communications, organising, leadership and teamwork.

The AYCC invites young people between the ages of 15 and 27 in the Newcastle and Hunter areas to attend this free event. We hope to attract between 30-40 people to the day so please spread the word. The training will help kick start the establishment of a Newcastle-Hunter AYCC group for 2011. This group will run local community projects, work with high schools to become more sustainable and take part in national AYCC campaigns. They will become part of the biggest youth organisation in Australia dedicated to building a generation wide movement to solve the climate crisis.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could promote this event to your members and any youth that are in contact with your organisation. We have very limited funds and so are relying on networking and promotion through schools to find interested participants. 

To RSVP interested young people should email their full name, age, mobile, phone, educational institution, postcode and email address to:
