Join us for a hybrid session with Greenpeace Africa's Volunteer Coordinator for South Africa Hulunn Choo and Climate & Energy Campaigner, Siyabonga Myeza, for an introduction to volunteering at Greenpeace Africa. During their talk they will share their vision for movement building, and moving beyond eco anxiety to finding your purpose as a climate activist. They will also cover topics such as responsive community work, a just transition to renewable energy, and collaboration with climate justice movements and climate youth activists.

The event is hosted by SU's Faculty of Science, the School for Climate Studies and EcoMaties.
