“This week was very powerful and inspiring; the strong sense of community was amazing. I am deeply grateful to the team of Julie’s Bicycle and all fellow participants from whom I learned so much! The course has helped me understand and acknowledge the role and responsibility I hold within the wider dynamics in addressing the climate crisis through culture, and I feel empowered to use it in order to take more initiative in guiding the changes needed. Both as an individual and an organisation, it is great to realise that you are not alone in this fight.”
