Schedule European Summer University 2022

In this workshop, we’ll work on how activism moves us, as well as the ways in which it can burn us out and cause damage. Collectively, we’ll build care and resilience strategies to ensure we’re looking after ourselves and our community, and that our activism is happy, joyful, and of course fun!

The workshop combines tactics to create a brave and safe space to be able to talk and listen with honesty, authenticity and courage. We will lead big and small group exercises as well as individual exercises. The techniques will help participants raise awareness about resilience, and we will help them to understand where burnout comes from, causes, symptoms and consequences. We will combine both theory and use examples from participants' practical experience. This process will foster collective and meaningful learning and will encourage participants to practice mindful resilience and wellbeing for themselves, their groups and their communities. Our main goals are to make wellbeing an essential part of work practices in the context of activism among young organisers. We will facilitate a network of activists who are interested in the wellbeing of their groups and who can share their experiences and participate in situations where people can learn together; these individuals will also be able to act as a disseminator to create other care strategies within their own groups.
