Introduction to Spokes Training (3 mins)

Welcome to Australian Parents for Climate Action's spokesperson training!

We have created this resource because parents’ voices are powerful, as we have a moral responsibility to protect our children.

Right now in the face of a climate crisis, we need parents and grandparents like you to step up to the microphone and share your concerns, and lobby for solutions. Your voices can give our politicians the political will to act on climate.

And we are here to help you. This is why we have designed this easy-to-use online spokesperson training program. It's broken into bite-sized chunks, for a busy parent to fit in. You can work through it in the order we suggest, but if you need to skip ahead to get the information you need right now - it's all here.

We’ve road-tested these training documents with parents around Australia already, and we know they have gone on to nail it in the media and with their meetings with politicians.

We believe in you, and your ability to help change the future.

Become a parent spokesperson - act now for the greater good for climate.

Take the next step - learn about Our Federal Election Strategy (part 2 of our spokesperson training course).
