The aim of this programme is to amplify and centre the voices of the underrepresented and marginalised women specifically in the climate arena. The approach to this will be underpinned by values that challenge patriarchy, colonialism and white supremacy and uphold care, collaboration and non-competitive sisterhood.
This 3 year project, funded by Propel, aims to engage women from Tower Hamlets and Hackney through a participatory climate leadership programme. The project involves two phases:
Phase One is a 12 week Feminist Climate Leadership programme where groups of women collectively explore their priorities for climate justice at individual, local, regional, national and international levels.
Phase Two involves participants developing creative projects to showcase the ideas and solutions, working collaboratively with regular support sessions.
The Climate Sisters programme is part of the Feminist Green New Deal campaign.
WEN is able to offer partner organisations a grant of £2,500 to cover admin and outreach costs in relation to the programme. If you would be interested in partnering with WEN for this programme, then please let them know by 17 May. WEN would be happy to arrange a meeting with you to discuss this in more detail. Please contact roshini@wen.org.uk.
