Tools for Effective Sustainable Activism
10 day workshop in the Catalan Pyranees
This workshop, hosted in a wild part of the catalan pyranees, offers
personal and collective tools to make our activism more effective. They
can help us stay in it for the long haul, creating personal sustainability
and adding continuity to our movement building. They can also ensure the
collective dimensions of our activism exemplify the values we struggle
for. They can help us stay inspired, nourished, empowered and
strategically creative.
The workshop applies ecological/systems thinking, radical analysis and
holistic-participatory learning to the practice of activism and the
building of social movements. It offers practical methods for engaging in
the inner work that underpins effective social engagement. It will also
bring together activists from across Europe to share practice and
strengthen networks. Funding is available for some participants, but
places are limited.
