Bricks & Glitter presents:
Workshop Series for Event Organizers

Event Organizing 101

Bringing people together and building community can be a form of resistance. This workshop explores ways and approaches to starting up a community group or collective at the grassroots level. From brainstorming of ideas, to applying for funding, fundraising, researching community needs, recruiting members to support the vision, promoting and outreaching to the public, execution of the project, and next steps. this discussion offers insights on how to make it happen, and potential challenges we may face in the process.
How can we incorporate self-care and healing into our activist work so as not to reiterate the same kinds of oppression we fought so hard against? The political is personal. What happens when our personal lives are impacted by the social justice movements we are involved in? This workshop does not have all the answers, yet together as a group, perhaps we can discover how to build communities that lead us to the answers.
