The Explore XR Team

Who we are and how to contact us

The Explore XR team provides a solid understanding of XRUK and is useful for anyone simply looking to find out more or get involved. It also provides support, personal connections and all the tools you need for a flying start if you are looking to contribute to a local group or move straight into a role with one of our amazing teams anywhere across the movement.

Our team is made up of Hazel, Matthew, Jacqueline, Sheena, Ned and Michelle. Some of us are established rebels who set up the team; some of us joined after taking the course ourselves.

Michelle and Ned offer 'Explorer Support' and, if you've been happy to give us your phone number, one of us will check in with you. Ned can be contacted for all things technical.

After attending a Get Involved session, you can email volunteer@extinctionrebellion.uk to continue your exploration of XR.

Comments from previous Explorers:

“Very informative and very welcoming”

“I was inspired and motivated”

“I found the resources very useful as a grounding to XR (I wish I had done it earlier, I would have been better prepared for some actions) and to help me find where I could contribute in the working groups.”

“Having now started to engage with SOS (Self-Organising System team), I see that a lot of the training I did has put me in a very good position to understand most of what's going on in meetings”.

We're working to make XRUK a diverse and inclusive space and we welcome applications from everyone. You can begin your studies at any time, choose which topics to study and take as long as you need to finish.

If Explore XR can help in any way with supporting you, please get in touch via our Explorers channel on Mattermost (please email us if you'd like a Mattermost account) or via email at volunteer@extinctionrebellion.uk.
