Turning the Tide

Turning the Tide (TTT) is a programme of Quaker Peace and Social Witness (QPSW). QPSW works with and on behalf of the Religious Society of Friends in Britain to translate our faith into action. We work with Quakers and nonviolent activist groups to advance the understanding of active nonviolence and its use for positive social change.

 

We offer our resources and experience to individuals and groups through training workshops, consultations and publications. We work with groups to design workshops that meet your specific needs. Popular workshop topics include:

• active nonviolence
• building the alternative
• challenging oppression
• empowerment
• nonviolent direct action planning and preparation
• strategy and campaigning
• consensus decision-making and effective group work

TTT has worked with a range of local, national and international groups:

• G8/G20 protesters
• Camp for Climate Change
• Stop the War groups
• Trident Ploughshares
• Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme for Palestine and Israel
• South Asia Peace Alliance
• Iona Community
• People and Planet
• Peace Brigades International
• Translators for Peace
• .... and many more
