EcoChampions is excited to launch the CLIMATE EDUCATION LEADERS FELLOWSHIP.

First, of its kind in Africa, the Climate Education Leaders Fellowship is a 2-month immersive programme for emerging Climate Change Education Leaders in Africa. With a firm focus on building a network of individuals leading the charge to develop and implement innovative solutions to the most pressing crisis, EcoChampions aims to train 5,000 individuals across Africa to become effective “Climate Education Leaders” by the year 2050.

Combining knowledge, expertise and mentorship, the program is designed to equip the next generation of informed, knowledgeable and prepared young leaders who will demonstrate the courage, commitment, and passion to advancing the use of education to address the climate crisis and environmental justice issues. Through the fellowship’s workshops, mentorship sessions, and live chats, participants will acquire the requisite knowledge, skills, and networks they need to raise awareness and influence public opinion of the climate crisis and effectively pressure key stakeholders including policymakers, to act on bold just climate solutions.

We are looking for motivated young leaders across Africa with a passion for climate education and environmental sustainability.

At the heart of environmental injustice is racial injustice of many forms, and if we are to truly tackle environmental injustice, then w...
