The Heading for Extinction (and What to Do About It) talk is one of the 3 key sessions the XRUK Talks & Training team provide.
The role of the Internal Coordinator is essentially one of team building; guiding the team overall and supporting people individually, identifying gaps in the team and filling roles. The current holder is still part of the team, giving training sessions and keeping the Heading for Extinction [HfE] talk up-to-date, but it is time for a change. Full support is given.

Location: XR UK (UK Wide)
XRUK Talks & Training coordinates talks, training and workshops for the movement upon request, and we proactively organise talks, training and workshops across the movement. Our other roles consist of collating and cataloguing talk, training and workshop materials from across the movement, making training information accessible to the movement and ensuring that training materials and training, are accessible to all volunteers. We maintain a database of XRUK speakers and trainers, as well as writing, updating and distributing the 'Nonviolent Direct Action' (NVDA), 'Heading for Extinction' (HfE) and Street Speakers' training/talks materials. And lastly, we provide support to other XRUK circles to improve the quality of their talks, training and workshops.
