COP29: Train The Trainer Programme

The United Nations SDG 16 Impact Hub at DMU is hosting a dynamic and creative programme of engagement activities linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) up to and including COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan: 11^th– 22^nd November 2024.

The Parallel Lives Network is delivering a number of engagement activities to compliment the wider programme. Our focus will be on empowering students through a series of Train the Trainer sessions, aimed at creating Community Champions who will cascade their skills and knowledge within their networks.

The programmes will culminate in a mini environmental COP29 EXPO, where newly trained Community Champions will deliver workshops to students from local school pupils.
