About this opportunity
Online learning fails when nobody is holding the room. The Green Bridges Facilitator Training is built around that unglamorous skill, and the application form describes what participants gain as "the skills, tools and confidence to facilitate engaging and inclusive virtual learning sessions for young people on topics of climate action and social innovation".
It is free, it is delivered live rather than pre recorded, and it asks for commitment rather than a fee. The programme runs from 4 November to 2 December 2026 across five Wednesday sessions on 4, 11, 18 and 25 November and 2 December, plus two Friday sessions on 13 and 20 November, each held from 17:00 to 18:30 CET.
The form is direct about expectations, "Attendance at a minimum of five sessions is required to obtain the certificate", and adds that participants are "expected to be active, visible and engaged throughout the programme". Those who complete it receive a certificate of participation.
There is no country restriction printed on the form. It asks for country of residence and nationality as open questions rather than as filters, so applicants from Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa are not screened out by the questions themselves.
One carve out applies, students currently enrolled in an EPOS study programme are asked not to use this form and to register instead through the AGEP course page for facilitator training.
