Learn about the details, what you can expect from the experience, and apply on the programme’s website: pages.makesense.org/reaction-laidlaw-2021/

What is re_action for climate?

re_action for climate is a 6-week full time experience where scholars will learn how to mobilize communities, utilize their leadership skills and build concrete actions within their communities to fight climate change. The programme will run remotely from June 28th to August 6th. Selected scholars can expect to apply and develop their skills in Leadership, Community Mobilizing, Project Management, and Climate Action.

 The re_action program was built by makesense, an international organization that works with citizens, social entrepreneurs and organizations on positive impact projects, as an emergency response program during the pandemic. Today, re_action is an innovative tool for community building and action. The programme has mobilized over 80k people worldwide and it now aims to empower 20 Laidlaw Foundation Scholars. Through the leadership of the 20 selected Laidlaw Scholars, we are hoping to mobilize over 100 volunteers during the summer by guiding groups of 15 people each through a creative experience using design thinking and community mobilization tools.  

👉 Are you interested in applying? Do you want to know more? 

makesense will be holding a Q&A webinar on Thursday, May 27 at 11 AM EST / 4 PM BST for scholars interested in applying and learning more about the programme.
