about our workshops

group of protesters reach brick wallWe believe that nonviolence is the most powerful tool for change. And we want to share this with everyone who wants a better world.

Open workshops

We offer introductory workshops on nonviolence and can help you set one up in your area. It might include

  • exploring our understandings of nonviolence
  • analysing power and how change can happen
  • working effectively as a group

And if a social change local group emerges out of it we are of course available to help keep it going!

Tailored workshops

We also offer workshops tailored to the needs of specific groups. Participation in these workshops is usually restricted to the group members.

How do I set this up?

Just get in touch with us to discuss it. We figure you know your local area and people best so we'll leave you to hire the venue and do the recruitment, but we can help with more general publicity.

Experienced trainers

At Turning the Tide we have a over twenty dedicated activist trainers who can help you and your group become more effective campaigners, using the tools and thinking of nonviolence. All our workshops are experiential and based on the practice of participative co-working.

How much does it cost?

We don't usually charge for our workshops, but you may wish to make a donation. And you'll need to cover travel and accommodation expenses of our volunteer facilitators. You’re also responsible for hiring the venue and food arrangements.
