Application Deadline for International Training: Climate Justice & Aviation – Communication Training for Activists and Campaigners

Do you want to be part of a movement for a fair and green mobility, or boost campaigns on climate justice and aviation?

Would you like to learn more about the ecological and social impacts of aviation, how to counter the industry’s greenwashing strategies and to bring about a just transition of the aviation?

Do you want guidance on concrete steps to change organisations’ travel policies?

Would you like to be part of a global network of campaigners and activists spreading the word about aviation and climate justice?

Do you want to reflect on how we talk about aviation, to counter narratives that impede change?

If your answer is Yes, here is your opportunity to become a Stay Grounded multiplier! This training is part of a larger project on reframing aviation and is based on our upcoming Report “Common Destination – Reframing aviation to ensure a safe landing and lay the tracks towards a fair planet”.

Apply now for the international online training: Training-Application – Stay Grounded (stay-grounded.org)

How will it work?

The training is free – you bring your time, your motivation and your own experience to share! ???? There is no prior knowledge required.

Trainings will take place in the UK, Spain, Germany and France (in local languages) as well as in an international online version in English. So you will have plenty of options to participate!

You will be part of a multiplier network with many possibilities to exchange and learn from each other and receive active support to spread the word about aviation and climate justice yourself (e.g. in workshops, talks, actions, etc.).

You will also be connected to the global Stay Grounded network of more than 180 organisations aiming to reduce aviation and fight for a fair and green mobility system.

Who is it for?

⇢ people active on climate justice issues who want to communicate more about the role of aviation in this context

⇢ people engaged in local struggles against airport expansions or campaigning for a fairer mobility system, looking for effective ways to counter the aviation industry’s narratives

⇢ people interested in climate communication, wanting to reflect and expand on their framing of aviation

⇢ people looking for a way to get active on aviation together with like-minded multipliers

We are looking for people who are interested in spreading the knowledge provided in this training to as many people as possible. By participating in the training, you will become part of an active multiplier network and be supported in giving workshops and talks, or organise actions and events (depending on your capacity). You will be in touch with like-minded people around the world working for a fairer mobility system!

The training has five modules. You should at least participate in Module 1 and 5, and another one of your choosing. However, we very much encourage and recommend you to participate in all additional modules to get the full picture.

The modules will consist of a mix of shared reflections, informative presentations and interactive exercises. If necessary, your travel and accommodation costs to in-person trainings can be (partially) covered.
