Joining the Hub and Finding your Course Schedule

You've arrived at this page because you have applied to join the Foundation Programme via the Volunteer Website and then clicked through from the email that you subsequently received entitled 'Invite to XRs Foundation Programme'.

If you haven't done so already, you need to join the XRUK Hub to access your Course Schedule and this page is designed expressly to help you do that. The Hub is our amazing tool which connects lots of the programs (e.g. Mattermost and UK Cloud) that rebels use to organise online; and it runs on servers in Switzerland which use green electricity!

If you are concerned about using a new application – please don’t panic! The Foundation Programme team are here to help. You can get personal help by:

  1. Registering for the next Introduction to the Foundation Programme on Zoom for a warm welcome and all your questions answered.
    Register here for the Introduction to the Foundation Programme
  2. Emailing us at xrfoundationprogramme@protonmail.com
  3. Speaking to a human by calling our super-friendly technical support - Ned (a woman) - on 07949 069730

How do I join the Hub?

To sign up to the Hub:

  2. Open the invite and click on the link (you may need to check your spam folder). This will open a webpage containing a form that looks like this: https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2023-04/image-1681204393509.png
  3. Fill in the form with your name (this is visible to other users, so you can use a nickname if you like) and password and then click Confirm.

This video takes you through the steps outlined above. Or if you already have a Mattermost account but not a Hub account, watch this video instead.

Any problems?

If you are encountering any issues, read this page for information on how to fix the most common problems, as well as where to go to ask for help.

Join the Hub

Once you’ve watched the video or read the instructions above and are confident about what to do, go back to the email we sent you entitled 'Invite to XR's Foundation Programme' since this is the only place where you can find your personal invite link that allows you to join the Hub and find your personal Course Schedule.

Find your personal Course Schedule form

Once you've joined the Hub, you can quickly access your personal Hub Services page by using the green link below.

On your Hub Services page, log in (top right) then click on GROUPS in the green banner (top left).

Once you're on the Hub and then Mattermost (XR's dedicated chat platform), use the Students - Foundation Programme private chat channel in Mattermost to say "Hi" to your fellow students and the Foundation Programme coordinators - and you can also ask for support there. Click this link to go to that channel. That link will only work once you've created your accounts on the Hub and Mattermost, so follow the steps above to get set up!
