This programme will deepen your understanding and support your involvement in XR.

It isn't necessary to join the Foundation Programme in order to get involved in XR. However, it's a great place to start if you prefer to explore XR before diving in.

The Foundation Programme also prepares you to take on a role anywhere in XR (your local group, your region or a UK-wide team) and find the type of role that suits you best.

The FP is great for people new to XR but if you have been around for longer you will find it super useful too!

• Introduction to XR
• Heading for Extinction and what to do about it
• How to use XR’s communication tools
• Meeting skills
• Nonviolent Direct Action (NVDA)
• Know your Rights
• How XR works and who makes the decisions
• Skills, Boundaries, and Sustainable Activism
• What is a Regenerative culture?
• Course socials and problem-solving sessions

The sessions are entirely online (so you will need a good internet connection) and is very flexible: you can work at your own pace to either complete lots of the training or just dip in where you would like to deepen your knowledge. The Introductions are held on Zoom approximately monthly but you can start at any point and join a weekly FP get-together. For those who want to do the entire programme, there are approximately 20 hours of learning in total.

• support and guidance from the course directors
• training in small groups on zoom (online video call)
• the tools to access e-learning, which you can complete in your own time
• personal connections to help you find your place in XR or find your feet in a new role
• opportunities to meet others new to XR (online)

The FP team will guide you throughout and support you into finding a role with one of our amazing teams or local groups anywhere across the UK.
