The volunteer program of the Climate Walk is an opportunity for young academics, activists and artists to create and realise their own small projects related to climate change. Besides doing their own reasearch, art work or other kinds of projects, the participants of the volunteer program will work together closely with our Walkers in the fields. This is thus a great opportunity to network internationally with like-minded people while walking with us through Europe for some time.
The Climate Walk will open up the opportunity for volunteers to join us on our walk for some time to support our team on the ground and/or work on own projects.
If you are interested to act in some way already now, we are more than happy about motivated people that want to support us with the organisation of the Climate Walk. As an affiliate of the project you would be responsible for dedicated tasks within one of the three pillars of the Climate Walk (research, education, media-art). Through the association behind the project we are also able to host students for their (mandatory) internships and issue them internship certificates afterwards.
In the summer term of 2021 we will host an interdisciplinary online lecture at the University of Vienna. The participation in this lecture is mandatory for all volunteers. If a direct participation is not possible we will provide the recordings as well as materials afterwards.
To be transparent: We are (unfortunately) currently not in the situation to pay any money. This is true for our core team as for everyone else involved in the project. We hope to change this in the future. Nevertheless we have various things to offer as you can see below.
If you are interested in one of the possibilities layed out below sign up or reach out to us at any time:
For everyone who is interested in doing their own project related to the topic of climate change the Climate Walk offers different possibilities:
If you have or want to do an internship in a transdisciplinary project in the context of climate change and changing climateS we can issue a matching internship certificate.
Through our project we enable you to get in touch with NGOs, municipalities, and companies from all over Europe that engage with the topic of climate change.
You already have engaging ideas for creating climate action? Our project can give you the stage and the public outreach throughout Europe (and beyond) that you need.
As our core team has learned over the past months, working on the Climate Walk needs a mix of dedication, creativity, and a dash of craziness:
