350.org Trainings
Summary
Climate-organising training hub. The how-tos (facilitation, action design) transfer well to any issue campaign.
Body
350.org’s training site publishes step-by-step guides, online courses, downloadable handouts and sample training agendas aimed at volunteer climate organisers [source: 350-trainings]. The site is organised around four learner paths - “start from yourself”, “work with your group”, “make your campaign successful” and “build outstanding trainings” - and each path links the visitor to a curated set of resources for that stage of an organiser’s development [source: 350-trainings]. The institutional home is 350.org, the climate-movement organisation founded in 2009 and now networked through regional affiliates on every inhabited continent [source: 350-trainings].
The library includes long-form handbooks (the Climate Resistance Handbook and Dare to Question journal), self-led online “Skill-ups” on climate science, climate conversations, and recruitment, a tools-and-handouts area covering pillars of power, creative-tactic design, media, care and resilience, and arts organising, plus a public list of film and short-video recommendations for deeper context [source: 350-trainings]. The “organising story-telling labs” section publishes narrative case write-ups of how groups have faced common organising challenges - which is the section a campaigner should reach for when looking for analogies [source: 350-trainings]. The site also publishes Leading Groups Online and the Online Monster Manual compendium (90+ tools for online facilitation), reflecting its roots in the post-2020 surge of remote organising [source: 350-trainings].
Coverage is climate-focused in its examples but the structural how-tos (facilitation, action design, pillars of power, recruitment, debriefs) transfer to any issue campaign. Treat as link-only. [source: 350-trainings]
