About this Event

Tuesday 21st April 7pm – 10pm

Online (a Zoom link will be in your order confirmation email - please check your junk mail folder in case it ends up in there. Feel free to click on the Zoom link anytime on the day of the workshop to set yourself up). Please do not share the link with people who have not registered via eventbrite.

We will start at 7pm prompt. Please arrive from 6.45pm so that we can help you with any issues you might have with Zoom.

Entry to the workshop will close shortly after 7pm (this is because of the structure of the workshop and group work)

This workshop is interactive so it's useful if each participant can log in on a separate device, and has their video switched on. Note that logging in using a mobile phone is less than ideal because they don't tend to allow you to use gallery view where you can see everyone in the group at the same time.

Places are limited so it would be helpful if you only register if you know you will be able to attend, and cancel your ticket if you realise that you can't make it.

Workshop details

Oppression, movement building and our relationships as activists

We are members of XR looking at how movements can be divided when oppression goes unaddressed, offering practical tools to heal these divisions which affect our relationships as activists.

This workshop will address the importance of understanding the structural nature of oppressions (such as racism, sexism, classism, ableism, the oppression of young people, ...), as well as doing personal healing work – both of which are necessary if we are to work together effectively in a united movement.

Facilitators

Practicalities

Please note:

Because we will be breaking out into pairs for timed 'listening exchanges' it will be very helpful if you can bring a timer to the workshop, e.g. you can use the timer app on a mobile phone (use a spare mobile if you are using your mobile for the Zoom call).

When you register a Zoom link will be sent in your order confirmation email.

When you're in the Zoom meeting it is useful to choose "Gallery View" so that you can see everyone's lovely faces.

Accessibility

Sorry that this workshop is currently inaccessible to those who are deaf. We are working on ways to help with this.

Love,
