Sustaining Resistance 2014 – deadline 31st August; fully funded places
Sustaining Resistance, Empowering Renewal
26 April – 4 May 2014
This training offers personal and collective tools to make our activism more effective by supporting us to:
– stay in activist work for the ‘long haul’ by avoiding burn out through creating personal and group sustainability and adding continuity to our movement building,
– ensure that the collective dimensions of our activism exemplify the values we struggle for.
– stay inspired, nourished, empowered, & strategically creative
The training 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.
These residential trainings in a wild and remote part of the Catalan Pyrenees in Spain will also give you the opportunity to experience life in a land-based community based on simplicity, low-impact living and being close to the land.
