About the role and Wen’s Climate Sisters Programme
The Climate Sisters project aims to make systemic change by amplifying underrepresented marginalised and racialised women's voices in climate justice debates and in the transition to a low-carbon economy. This 5 year project aims to engage women from Glasgow, Edinburgh and Central Belt Scotland through a participatory climate leadership programme. The project involves two phases.Phase One comprises a Feminist Climate Leadership programme series where groups of women collectively explore their priorities for climate justice at individual, local, regional, national and international levels. Phase Two involves participants developing creative projects to showcase the ideas and solutions from the combined cohort from the Phase One programme, working collaboratively with regular support sessions.
The aim of this programme is to amplify and centre the voices of the underrepresented and marginalised women specifically in the climate arena. The approach to this will be underpinned by values that challenge patriarchy, colonialism and white supremacy, ableism and uphold care, collectivity, collaboration and non-competitive sisterhood. The Climate Sisters Coordinator will facilitate the delivery of a feminist climate leadership programme and a participatory, impactful and co-produced project, working closely with participants, community partners, wider networks and the Climate Sisters Programme Manager. You will be part of a small team within Wen and will play a key role in ensuring the smooth delivery of the Climate Sisters programme and sharing learning and impact internally and with outside audiences. You will identify opportunities and gaps and take action to widen community engagement in the project. We are looking for someone highly organised and motivated, with a talent to inspire and motivate people. Wen is committed to anti-racism and inclusive intersectional feminism which acknowledges how race, class, sexuality and disability intersect with gender in our day-to-day lives. Wen is open to all genders and is actively working towards being a trans inclusive organisation.
