On 18 and 19 August, Youth@SAIIA, in partnership with Breathe Cities and the City of Johannesburg, hosted a training workshop as part of the Air Aware Workshop Series.

The Air Aware: Youth Air Champions Workshop was a two-day advanced leadership programme designed to strengthen the capacity of selected Youth Air Champions to lead clean air advocacy and community action across Johannesburg.

Building on the foundational Air Aware training, the workshop equipped participants with practical skills in leadership, facilitation, communication, project management, stakeholder engagement, and campaign implementation. Through interactive learning and experiential site visits, participants were empowered to translate knowledge into impactful, youth-led initiatives that promote cleaner air and healthier communities.
