The ongoing climate crisis is a huge threat today. Increasingly minorities, including young people, people of colour, womxn and people from the so-called Global South are criticising scientists, journalists, government actors and activists for being very euro-centric, and not making their approach inclusive and critical.

With Resist!, we want to mobilise a young generation of climate change activists to be ambassadors and multipliers for a systemic and intersectional approach to the global climate change emergency. We want to encourage young people to politicise climate change, and to challenge the individual-focused approach that we see in popular culture and the media.

This project will focus on some parts of IFM-SEI’s Strategy and Work Plan (2019-2022), such as Climate Change and Environment, Socialist Education, Child and Youth Participation, and Inclusion and Diversity.

Resist! is an annual work plan generously funded by the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe.

All participants from IFM-SEI organisations from across our five world regions can get involved in the different activities that will take place over the next year!

Are you an experienced trainer with a passion for fighting the climate crisis, and the capacity to commit for a year?

If this sounds like you, you could join the steering group! Together, you will steer the project, prepare and deliver the training, and contribute to the revision of our climate change toolkit- All Together Against Climate Change. You will also have the opportunity to support climate change activists to run their own Resist! workshops!

Are you an experienced climate change activist, who is looking to make your practice more intersectional and inclusive?

Does this sound like you? If so, you should apply to join the training where you will explore the climate crisis from intersectional, anti-capitalist and systemic perspectives. We will also support you to run actions, workshops and activities in your local and regional groups!

The dates for all these activities will be confirmed in each call out, so keep your eyes peeled!
