The Week Experience

Visit The Week’s website to understand its purpose and format.

Register your group or organisation to participate in the program.

Assemble a diverse group of youth from your community who are interested in addressing climate action.

Share an overview of The Week, emphasizing its focus on building awareness, fostering reflection, and creating a sense of urgency to act on climate.

Act 1: The Climate Crisis
Watch the curated content provided by The Week, which explores the science and social impact of climate change.

Reflect as a group on how the crisis affects your community and the world. Use prompts like:

• “What surprised or moved you the most?”
• “How do these global challenges connect to our local experiences?”

Act 2: The Shift
Engage with the materials highlighting pathways to systemic change and the role of individuals and communities in this transition.

Discuss:

• “What gives you hope in this shift?”
• “What role can we play as a group in driving change locally?”

Act 3: Taking Action

Explore actions and solutions that align with your group’s interests and skills.

Brainstorm and prioritise steps the group can take to address a specific climate challenge in your community.

Conclude The Week by reflecting on the experience as a group:

• “What did we learn about our shared values and the urgency to act?”
• “How can we build on this energy to address a local climate challenge?”

Introduce the next step: From Research to Climate Action. Highlight how the insights gained during The Week will inform the group’s advocacy efforts.
