Especially suited for new rebels
Are you worried about the climate and ecological crisis too?
Are you fed up with standing by helplessly whilst politicians and corporations lead us towards the abyss?
At Extinction Rebellion, you can take real action together with like-minded people!
We’re moving beyond traditional climate marches and petitions and building a powerful mass movement that can turn the tide.
During this fascinating session, you’ll gain insight into what we stand for, how our movement works and, above all, why! Discover how you can personally make a valuable contribution.
In the second part, you’ll then learn how non-violent activism works. If you’d like to take part in actions where there’s a risk of arrest, it’s advisable to attend a training like this. By attending this training, you’ll also be able to make an informed decision about whether you want to take part in an action.
During this evening you'll learn:
🌻why we’re facing a climate crisis and why animal and plant species are going extinct on a massive scale;
🌻why we at Extinction Rebellion focus on civil disobedience;
🌻what our demands and values are;
🌻how a grassroots movement like Extinction Rebellion operates effectively;
🌻how you can get involved – either at an action or behind the scenes;
🌻how to find your place in our movement and meet fellow rebels;
🌻how to prepare for an Extinction Rebellion action;
🌻what non-violence means to us and what tactics it involves;
🌻how a simple blockade works and what you can expect during one;
🌻how to look after your mental wellbeing during an action;
🌻what an affinity group is and how these groups function during actions;
🌻how an arrest takes place and how to deal with a police presence;
🌻what the legal consequences of a protest might be.
This training session combines Welcome to XR with an action training. This way, in a single evening, you’ll learn everything you need to know to take your first steps in our movement. Are you already certain you don’t want to take part in actions where there’s a risk of arrest? That’s perfectly fine – this training doesn’t commit you to anything (and is certainly still worth attending).
