It will run online for four weeks at 6pm-8.30pm GMT each Monday evening, and will take you through different aspects of community building – from connecting with people one-to-one to running community assemblies, which harness the wisdom and power of the community.

Here is the outline of what we will cover each week:

Monday 15th January – 6pm-8.30pm GMT

Module 1 - Personal Processing (click on the module title to access the overview and resources)

This module is about understanding yourself, your identity and your biases, and finding the courage within. In the first workshop, we will be reflecting on ourselves. This can be hard work, but it is vital and empowering, and will ultimately prepare us to work better with others.

Module 2 - Engaging Communities (click on the module title to access the overview and resources)

Monday 29th January– 6pm-8.30pm GMT

Module 3 - Group Support (click on the module title to access the overview and resources)

This module is about developing your skills in working with others. It looks at how to create open and supportive working/organising environments.

Module 4 - Community Assemblies (click on the module title to access the overview and resources)

This module is about community assemblies, which are a structured means of discussing ideas in a way that ensures all voices are heard. The module will cover the basics on how you can organise an assembly in your community and offers opportunities to practice group facilitation.

Please note, we will be using breakout rooms and sharing content on our screens. We therefore recommend that you join with a laptop if possible.
