From June 21 - 29, 2023, our 2023 cohort of policy experts, politicians, urban planners, and union staff and activists visited South Bend, Indiana and Washington, DC to explore how coalitions between the climate movement and labor organizations serve as crucial facilitators in bringing about green, progressive legislation such as the Green New Deal. They met with organizers at the forefront of the new labor movement, leading facilators between climate organizers and established unions, and on-the-ground activists fighting for a just transition.

From June 11 - 18, 2022, the 2022 cohort of promising young policy makers, professionals, and activists from different parts of Germany traveled to Toronto, Pittsburgh, and Washington, DC. The delegation met with city administrators and policymakers, the start-up community, experts from academia and think tanks, as well as civil society organizations. The tour provided opportunities to share experiences and discuss shared challenges and strategies on greener and more just transportation systems.

In February 2020, the first cohort went on a one-week study tour to Miami and New Orleans to learn about the intersection of migration and the climate crisis, two of the biggest challenges facing the global community. Both cities are at the forefront of the climate crisis, and residents have been forced to move in response to storms and flooding, while also welcoming growing numbers of international migrants who are fleeing the effects of climate change in their own countries. The participants had the opportunity to meet with local activists, affected populations, city administrators and elected officials, as well as scholars and scientists. They shared each other's experiences, and discussed shared challenges and strategies for political engagement.
