Popular Education and Organizing -
Building a Movement
the Best Way We Know How

Highlander Social Change Workshop
December 5-72008
New Market, Tennessee

Limited space still available!
Apply below, or contact Highlander for more information.

Highlander's vision includes building a movement for justice that reaches across the South and Appalachia and connects to the world. And it starts with people working together. So we want to explore some key things: What helps people come together? What helps people move together? How can this kind of activity grow and change the world?

Goals:

• To bring together a diverse group of activists and others working for social change to talk about popular education and organizing
• To hear from organizers/activists/popular educators about what are ways to help build broader movements for social change
• To enable participants and Highlander staff to learn from each other about ideas and strategies for social change, both historically and current!
• To enable participants to relax, reflect, discuss, and have fun at Highlander

Who is this for?

English and Spanish-speaking people and groups who would like to learn and share their experiences doing organizing and popular education

In addition, there will be -

• Free time to relax, reflect, watch videos, talk with Highlander staff and other participants, use the resource center, enjoy the outdoors
• Simultaneous English/Spanish interpretation if needed

The cost for this 2-1/2 day workshop is $350, which includes room and board. We will have limited scholarships available for people with limited means who are actively engaged in social change. Childcare can be provided.
