Feminist Liberatory Facilitation in Community Organizing (For Coaches & Trainers)

Feminist Liberatory Facilitation in Community Organizing (For Coaches & Trainers)

As facilitators, we may rely on formal and structured approaches to guide groups to reach their goals and stay on track with clarity and focus.

But to facilitate spaces rooted in justice and liberation is to navigate complexity around power and its manifestations within our community with care and presence.

Join us on February 12th @ 10am Eastern Time / 4pm Central European Time for a session on Feminist Liberatory Facilitation, a practice rooted in understanding systemic power and creating space grounded in participation, dialogue, and collective agency. Together, we will explore the practice and concepts of feminist facilitation for conducive and healthy conversations, and explore practical ways to incorporate feminist liberatory approaches in our practice as coaches and facilitators of community organizing.

This participatory learning workshop is intended for people with experience and background in facilitation and training. It will build on learnings from the Justice in Practice Series and draw on our own experience as facilitators and coaches.

The session is facilitated by Hoda Barakat from the Kabcoop feminist facilitation cooperative, organizational learning expert, and community organizing and trainer.
