Whose (Environmental) Knowledge is it Anyway? - Workshop *EXTRA DATE ADDED*

Join the Working Class Climate Alliance (WCCA) for a workshop about the democratisation of knowledge in climate politics!

Due to high demand we are adding an additional date for this workshop on March 2nd, 2pm-3.30pm GMT.

Mainstream climate politics suffers from the under-representation of working class, Indigenous and Global South voices, and remains disproportionately influenced by middle and upper middle class individuals from the Global North - often with advanced professional credentials and/or formal work experience. But why is it that certain forms of environmental knowledge are held in higher regard than others? And how can this be reconciled so that all forms of knowledge are valued equally? In other words, how can decision-making processes be democratised?

Join us for a workshop that will explore these issues in greater depth. Hosted by the Working Class Climate Alliance, this interactive session will include a mixture of foundational knowledge and practical skills training. This was originally delivered at Oxfam Ireland's Ground Up Climate Justice Forum in Cork. Click here to check the start time of this workshop in your local time zone.

Our workshops are free to attend - however if you do have the means to purchase a solidarity/super solidarity ticket we would be forever grateful, as the WCCA operates on an incredibly small budget. All proceeds will go towards the development of our political education and skills training programmes.
