Together we are discussing what being 'left behind' means.

- Your voice and opinions not being listened to
- Missing education, skills and employment opportunities
- Being physically left behind due to transport and accessibility issues

We're heading to Frimhurst, Kent for the annual @aplecollective.bsky.social gathering hosted by @atd-fourthworld-uk.bsky.social at Frimhurst Family House.

Always a highlight - bringing together people with lived experience for workshops, reflection and collective action.
Can’t wait to see everyone!

The purpose of the project is to understand what a fair and just transition to a ‘green’ economy means for communities experiencing poverty and for organisations committed to climate justice. The UN calls for a ‘just transition’ that ensures no one is left behind. #JustTransition

The APLE Collective are back together at Frimhurst! 🌿 Today we're exploring what a 'Just Transition' means for communities experiencing poverty- and how climate justice & sustainability must include everyone.

🌿 Why does APLE exist?

We are a collective because meaningful change happens when we work together. We at APLE want to unite our voices to push for change. We support each other, learn from each other, and take action together, because no one should have to tackle poverty alone. #CollectivePower
