The Change programme
Application deadline extended!
The Change programme is an inspirational training programme for people in the UK who want to make change in the community around them. Change activists build networks of people, motivating others to get involved in Oxfam’s campaigns, and inspiring them to speak out about poverty and suffering.

the world.

The Change programme is aimed at adults in the UK of all ages (over-18) who can demonstrate a commitment to making change happen. They will attend a free, residential training event on 2-5 September 2011 in Loughborough, and then undertake a 6-month programme of campaigning in their town or university campus, on a voluntary basis. As part of their programme, they will also help to organise training events, to share their learning with others, as well as building networks of like-minded people taking action.
Former Change activists have gone on to do amazing things, from founding the UK Youth Climate Coalition and tracking climate negotiators at UN conferences, to creating local groups of people taking action against poverty.
