Rebel Toolkit and Rebellion Academy
Rebel Toolkit [RT] This really is a toolkit, where rebels can find information on how to make and do a huge range of things within the movement, from creating banners to writing mandates for teams.
On both Courses, you are asked to read
The Rebel Starter Pack - a basic guide to why XRUK was founded and how we operate. It describes the Three Demands we make of our government and the ten Principles & Values that guide us. It also gives information on how you can become involved.
For the Full Course only (though Light Course students are welcome to read it too), you are asked to read
Rebel Next Steps Pack - for anyone who wishes to become more involved in the movement. It looks in more depth at how we operate in alignment with key Principles and Values. It also helps you to decide what sort of rebel you are and what kind of role you might be interested in - Action, Grassroots, Movement or Supporter.
Rebellion Academy [RA] This is our online learning platform, offering interactive study trainings about all things XR UK, that you can work through at your own pace.
- Users are asked to set up an account*.
If you have already joined the Hub, your account for RA will automatically have been created using the same log in details. Having an account and log-in means you can leave a training at any point and come back to it easily. It also means you can track which ones have been completed and which ones have sections still to be done. Every time you finish a training, you get a badge; okay, it’s virtual, but it’s still an achievement! *Please be assured that setting up an account does not mean you will be bombarded with emails, or that you are joining XR.

They are also coded in terms of level - E for Essential, I for Intermediate and A for Advanced but we can’t always get them in a progressive order on the Schedule.Essential trainings are useful for everyone; Intermediate and Advanced trainings are also valuable but doing them may depend on what kind of rebel you are.
