Joining the Hub and Finding your Resources Form

💚 Hello Students!Explorers! Welcome to the Foundation ProgrammeXRUK 💚

We have created a direct link to the FoundationExplorers Programme Course ScheduleResources form so that you can access the courseinformation without first joining the XRUK Hub. More information here.

Everyone applying to the course from 1st April 2024, will receive this direct link. If you applied before this date and would like the direct link, please email us at pathways+fp@extinctionrebellion.volunteer@extinctionrebellion.uk

However, if you've received an invite email to join theExplore Foundation ProgrammeXR via the Hub, and you want support with what to do next, this page will help you.

    What on earth is the Hub?

    The Hub is our own incredible tool which contains all the info about XRUK groups, as well being a one-stop-shop for our other platforms, e.g. Mattermost and UK Cloud, that we use to organise online. All of our platforms run on secure servers in Switzerland using green electricity! Further info here.

    Mattermost - the App

    If you want to use Mattermost via the app on your phone or tablet, download Mattermost Business (Mattermost Classic is the older version of the app - download this one if that's your only option) from the App Store (iPhones) or Google Play Store (Androids). Once downloaded:

    • Open the app and go through the Welcome screens
    • Where it asks for the Server URL, enter - organise.earth
    • Where it asks for the Server Name, enter - anything you like! XR or Extinction Rebellion or your cat/dog's name - it doesn't matter what you put here.
    • Sign in using the account details you chose when you created your Hub account.

    If You Already Have a Mattermost Account

    If you already have a Mattermost account but not a Hub account, you can find additional support on this page or watch this video.
