Oppression, Movement Building and our Relationships as Activists 13/Jan/26

Workshop details

We are members of XR looking at why, when people come together to bring about change, too often we end up fighting each other rather than working together.

For example, how do we address oppression (such as classism, sexism, racism, etc.) in ways that don't create further division? How do we rebuild relationships and trust that have been broken?

The workshop includes space for personal sharing and experience of practical tools.

Facilitators: Karl & Alima

Joining instructions

Please read these instructions carefully:

• When you register a Zoom link will be sent in your order confirmation email, please check your junk mail folder in case the email ends up in there.
• Entry to the workshop will close 5 minutes after the start time.
• Because this workshop uses breakout rooms, if you are attending with others, please try to join the Zoom call on separate devices where possible.
• It will be helpful if you can bring a timer as we will be using timed 'listening exchanges'. You can use the Timer app on a mobile phone.
