Ever feel overwhelmed by how much there is to learn about ‘climate’? Never know which resources are worth your time, and which will waste your time? Keen to meet others interested in similar topics? Want short, energetic bursts of group learning to keep you engaged and excited?

→ MCJ Learning Sprints can help!

What’s involved?

• 2 facilitators to guide you through the sprint, help you navigate the topic, curate the resources and answer any questions you have.
• 3 group calls on three consecutive Fridays, totalling 2 hours 15 minutes.
• 10-15 resources, presented in a workbook. You work through these in your own time, and then we come together to discuss. Resources will have varying styles, perspectives, sources and lengths → you pick which ones you do, we ask for a minimum of 2 to be completed.
• 10-15 MCJ members, learning about one shared topic, and together in a private slack channel within the MCJ community.
• 1 final presentation → you pick a resource you’ve enjoyed, and create a short summary to share with the group in the final call. Each presentation will be 3 minutes, max.

We won’t…

• Trigger overwhelm → these are short, sweet and supported learning sprints!
• Stress you out → the idea is that every participant digs into the resources as much or as little as they can over three weeks, so it can fit into everything else you have going on.

When are they?

A new sprint will start on the first Friday of each month. We’re starting with one a month, covering different topics. Sessions will likely be at 8am PST / 4pm BST, this is subject to change to accommodate a range of timezones.

<aside> 👉 NOTE: The minimum requirement for participation in a sprint is to be able to make 2 out of 3 group meetings, and to cover at least three resources (which can be only a few minutes long). Timings and topics of sprints will be shared when you are given the option to jump in, please keep this in mind when confirming your participation.
