AWETHU School of Organisation is an educational initiative dedicated to empowering individuals and communities through political education and tools for grassroots organising.
In recognition, that Black people have too often been excluded from climate justice and social change conversations in the UK, AWETHU, alongside others, aim to play their part to change this.
The AWETHU programme
The AWETHU programme is a free eight-week programme for Black and Mixed-Black heritage youth aged 18–24, addressing the lack of representation and resources in climate justice and organising spaces for Black communities.
Applicants will engage with a curriculum covering the basics of climate justice, colonial history, anti-racism and anti-capitalism, as well as organising principles to build successful campaigns and wellbeing in activism to ensure this work is sustainable.
