The climate movement needs leaders from around India and the globe and the aim of the workshop is to identify and train those very leaders. We expect the participants to deliver a similar training to local leaders from their own regions by the end of the year 2012. We also expect them to continue engaging with the network in a mutually beneficial way to strengthen the environmental movement in the country and for this, we encourage participants to set up 350 local groups (more on this can be found at local.350.org). For any queries please write to ayesha@350.org or chaitanya@350.org.The application form can be filled here.
