(This session is residential and for year-group only). Turning the Tide in collaboration with Huddersfield Quakers and other local peace and justice groups are hosting a series of workshops called 'Nonviolence for a Change.' This is a training programme for people with some experience of working with others to address injustices and make changes. You can sign up for the whole course, or just dip into the sessions that interest you. This course tends to be oversubscribed so get in touch as soon as you can. The fee is £350 for the year; £35 per workshop, and concessions and payment plan options are available.
Speaker, Oliver McTernan, co-founder and CEO of Forward Thinking, an organisation set up to promote a more inclusive peace process in the Middle East and to facilitate a global dialogue between the religious and secular worlds.
Facilitators from Rhizome will help participants explore why and how we use nonviolence and direct action, develop skills for occupying space, keeping things calm or dealing with aggression, and tactics for blockading and impeding the arms trade.
The training will also be useful if you are interested in taking non-violent direct action on other issues.
