November 2023 & March 2024
Are you a youth worker who’s passionate about global justice and international solidarity? Do you want to develop your capacities in working towards social change in your daily work? This training course brings international solidarity and intersectional perspectives to practice through creative methods.
PeaceWorks, together with our partner organisations, are offering a training course on International Solidarity for youth workers. We often meet people in the youth sector who express concerns about the way in which global power structures are reproduced in local settings – as well as in their daily work with young persons. This training course addresses these issues through a systemic approach where international solidarity and intersectionality are brought to practise, through experience-based learning and creative methods. A particular focus is given to Theatre of the Oppressed which invites participants to join the stage, broadening their role from spectators to spect-actors.
When and where?
The course consists of two course weeks.
- TC1: 1st to 10th of November 2023 (including two days for travelling) in Sweden.
- TC2: 20th to 29th of March 2024 (including two days for travelling in Sweden.
