Hi there,
Would you be able to promote the training through the youth gas list please?
Would you be able to promote this training program through your networks?
SEARCH is initiating an exciting new training program for young activists
interested and engaged in left/progressive social change.
The training sessions will consist of an inter-generational dialogue and
exchange with veteran activists who will share their experiences, knowledge and
ideas with younger activists. This will be done through exploring case studies of
previous Australian campaigns and social movements and analysing the
successes/failures of these campaigns. Political education will be a key
component of the trainings with an emphasis on exploring theoretical perspectives
and key vision and values which run across all progressive social movements.
Particular skills sharing sessions will also take place, focussed on how to
organise campaigns and develop strategy and tactics.
Young activists will have access to a network of experienced and supportive
left/progressive activists with possibilities of mentoring, sharing of ideas and
solidarity on campaigns. The veteran activists involved have had considerable
experience in successful mass movements, which include: the environment movement,
union activism, women¢s movement, indigenous rights, refugee and asylum seeker
campaigns, human rights, as well as many more.
This is an opportunity to make some new activist friends, be supported while
being active and gaining some insights into progressive political strategies for
Australia¢s future.
Participants will also have the opportunity to take part in a mentoring program
with a veteran activist as well as help create an activist network where support
can be given and information is freely shared.
For more information and application form please see flyer attached.

Thank you,
Regards,
Celine
