Education
We aim to create a safe and inclusive space for African youth to learn about the climate crisis, and be prepared to call for mitigation measures and adapt to the effects of climate and environmental breakdown. We host workshops and dialogues, and build resources that look to build climate change literacy across youth from all lived experiences, especially those living in underserved or climate-affected communities.
ABout the programme
Our education programme was born out of the urgent need for accessible, Afrocentric climate change literacy for youth in Africa, especially for those living in underserved areas. We have the following three focus areas:

Online workshops
Our online educational workshops are split into two categories: our Back2Basics Workshops and Dialogues. The Back2Basics exist to bridge gaps in climate change literacy and prepare youth in the African Climate Alliance activist network, and beyond, to feel comfortable in broader dialogues on climate change. Building on the month’s topic of the Back2Basics workshop, our dialogues are in-depth sessions that aim to marry climate change realities with expertise and understandings from those on the front lines. Every session features guest speakers who can bring together a combination of science and lived experience. Some examples of our workshops can be seen below:
In-person workshops
