Community Organising & Activism

Birmingham LGBT is pleased to announce, thanks to support from Barrow Cadbury, a series of free training workshops to build and increase community resilience, leadership skills and voice within the LGBT community. These training days are open to anyone in the LGBT community but priority will be given to Birmingham residents and organisations and groups.  
Community Organising
Community organising is about developing the capacity of people with shared interests and goals, to use their passion and… Show more energy more effectively and collectively to ensure that their community’s voice is heard and responded to, to create positive change. 
This workshop will explore contemporary examples of non-violent legal activism from local, national and international sources, and from the participants’ and trainer’s own experiences, in order to develop participants’ understanding of successful community actions. It will provide insight into how the right combination of elements such as motivation, resources, information, allies, networking and activities can result in successful outcomes from community action.
