Online Workshop Opportunity in the field of Ecosystem Restoration from GLF

GLF Climate invites anyone interested in environmental activism to a workshop opportunity. This workshop will foster horizontal learning by bringing together young and young-at-heart people to share their advocacy experiences, with the aim of exploring a variety of approaches to environmental activism. This is your chance to join a digital learning journey to discover how youth advocacy for ecosystem restoration can protect livelihoods, address the climate crisis, and prevent the collapse of global biodiversity. The program will consist of one networking session and three online interactive webinars to be held in October 2021.

At the end of the program, you will have the opportunity to:

• Develop a robust understanding of how you can become agents of change at all levels, from the local to the global. 
• Receive free tickets to the digital edition of GLF Climate. 

The program is designed for students and young professionals who:

• Are between 18 to 35 years old.
• Have a strong interest in advocating for the climate at a local, national, regional, or global level.
• Want to co-create a global youth narrative around ecosystem restoration.
• Are involved in a youth-led advocacy project related to climate or ecosystem restoration is a plus.
