Social movement educators (SMEd2) workshop

DatesFri 6 Nov 2009 - Sun 8 Nov 2009
VenueAmnesty International Australian NSW Action Centre
StreamtCA workshops
Format3 day workshop

Take your activist education skills to the next level!

The role of education and facilitation in building and supporting movements is vital. But there are few opportunities for us to develop and extend these skills. The Change Agency’s three-day Social Movement Ed2 (educate-the-educator or ed-squared) workshop will provide opportunities to:

reflect on our experiences and challenges as educators and facilitators
extend and develop our facilitation skills and strengthen our confidence to deal with challenging situations
understand and apply principles of popular and experiential education and learning
develop a ‘toolbox’ of education and facilitation techniques
build capacity to support activists, organisations, communities and movements to make change happen.

A significant component of the workshop will be practice facilitation. Come prepared to show your stuff, share tools, and stretch! Together we’ll create a supportive space for experimentation and growth, with considered critical feedback from peers.

The registration fee is $250 to $600. ‘Pay the rent’ registration is available free to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants. Places are strictly limited and we're hoping people can register by October 30th. Download the flier with full workshop details and the registration form below >
