The Climate Reality Project Announces
The 2014 Climate Leadership Corps training dates have been released. The chairman and founder Al Gore to personally lead the South Africa leadership training session
The Climate Reality Project has announced training dates for its popular Climate Reality Leadership Corps. The Climate Reality Leadership Corps currently includes more than 6000 Climate Leaders from over 100 countries. More information on the training programs can be found at http://climaterealityproject.org/leadership-corps/.
Now in their seventh year, these intensive three-day training sessions, led in part by Al Gore, bring together an All Star roster of some of the world’s leading climate scientists, media and communications experts, and practitioners to share the latest science of climate change, best practices in public speaking and social media, leadership skills, and communication strategies.
The dates for the Climate Reality Leader training are March 12-14 in South Africa. The Climate Reality Project is partnering with their African Branch Manager, Food & Trees for Africa, for this first ever African training. The training requires formal applications, which can be accessed at http://climaterealityproject.org/africa-training-application/.
The Climate Reality Leadership Corps program trains volunteers from around the world to deliver the Climate Reality message using a multimedia presentation to enable them to serve as climate leaders in their communities. Climate Reality Leaders emerge from training sessions as energized and skilled communicators with the knowledge, tools, and drive to spread the climate change message with such diverse audiences as business leaders, schools, faith communities, and policy makers at every level.
“Along with dozens of the world’s leading experts on climate change, I look forward to personally meeting and working with the thousands of new Climate Leaders at this African training,” said Al Gore, Chairman and Founder of The Climate Reality Project. “Climate Leaders play an enormously influential role by connecting the dots between the high-level science and the daily lives of their audiences in simple and accessible terms.”
“The Climate Leader trainings are thoughtfully constructed to provide a full suite of skills to empower the next generation of climate activists to effectively communicate the climate crisis within their communities,” said Maggie L. Fox, President and CEO of The Climate Reality Project.
