Activist educators play a valuable role in social movements, increasing the capacity for effective social action. Activist educators can be catalysts for innovation in social movements, communicating and spreading new approaches, frameworks and tools. This work helps us to learn from each other\u2019s struggles.<\/p>\n

Building collaboration and learning between activist educators has the potential for many ripples \u2013 spreading new curriculum and practices across different social movements, cultures and countries. This week long gathering in beautiful surroundings in Catalunya will nourish activist educators to return to their work refreshed and inspired.<\/p>\n

When we say \u2018activist educators\u2019 who do we mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We recognise this might not be the term you identify with! Maybe you\u2019re a social change facilitator, a trainer for community action, a direct or experiential educator working with impacted communities\u2026 or any number of other descriptions.<\/p>\n

We welcome to this gathering people who play the role of supporting social movements, as educators, facilitators, coaches or a related role \u2013 whether embedded in one organisation or movement, or working across organisations and movements.<\/p>\n

There are many different approaches to social change but for this gathering we especially encourage people who train and facilitate people engaged in collective action such as campaigning, community organising, civil resistance and movement building.<\/p>\n

This event is not an introductory train-the-trainer for those new to activist education. It is for experienced people already actively engaged in the work (whether paid or voluntary, solo or part of an organisation or collective).<\/p>\n

What will happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The International Gathering of Activist Educators will be a week long community of enquiry with twenty participants. We are currently seeking your ideas and offers to shape a rich and creative program. We envisage that multiple sessions during the week will be delivered by participants, modelling different ways to hold space and educate.<\/p>\n

Some options for the program:
\n\u00b7 Sharing and interrogating how our work responds to the political moments we face, the needs of social movements and our training participants
\n\u00b7 Exploring pedagogy (how and why we do what we do, deepening the transformational potential of our work)
\n\u00b7 Workshops presenting programs and curriculum (this is what we are doing) for discussion
\n\u00b7 Workshops running sections of curriculum (experience what we do) with reflection and critical feedback
\n\u00b7 Action learning sets on key challenges faced by activist educators and social movements broadly, for deep reflection and enquiry
\n\u00b7 Open Space Technology sessions for emerging conversations and impromptu workshops
\n\u00b7 Time focused on sustaining ourselves, being in our bodies, accessing creativity, enjoying each other\u2019s company and the environment around us
\n\u00b7 Development of a training day to be offered to the activist community of Barcelona at the end of our week together<\/p>\n

Contribute your ideas<\/strong><\/p>\n

The program ideas above are the start of a conversation. We welcome your input to shape this event, as fits a gathering of trainers!<\/p>\n

We welcome people from around the world to participate and contribute your special skills, talents and curiosity. We are currently seeking funds to subsidise travel to the event, particularly for activist educators from the Global South.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in being part of this gathering please complete this survey<\/a>. This lets us know your ideas and needs in relation to the event and allows us to keep in contact as the details become clearer. Input is also welcome via conversations on Skype (or other platforms as required).<\/p>\n
