What does solidarity actually mean in everyday life? How do current events, inequalities, and power relations affect us personally? And what can active solidarity look like beyond theory or slogans?
Active Solidarity Training is a 3-day international experiential training that invites participants to slow down, reflect, and connect personal experience with wider social realities. The training offers space to explore questions of equality, human rights, responsibility, and living together in diverse societies.
Rather than providing ready-made answers, the programme guides participants through a learning journey – from personal awareness and inner reflection, through relationships with others, towards considering how we relate to society and civic life.
What the training offers
- space to reflect on how social and political realities affect you personally
