In the Advanced Training of Trainers, you'll deepen and broaden your facilitation skills. This workshops dives into issues of cross-cultural work, handling conflict and strong emotions, and will improve your ability to design workshops on the fly (emergent design). It's a rigorous 5-day training open only to people who've taken our introductory Training for Social Action Trainers.

A "super training" for social-action trainers This 17-day super-training is our flagship workshop series, designed for experienced trainers who want to take their work to a new level of creativity, range and effectiveness, as well as new trainers who want to learn basic principles. The series is ideal for a trainer's sabbatical and is very popular with facilitators outside the North America. The schedule includes four consecutive workshops with a day's rest in between, sequenced for maximum growth for trainers and facilitators.

We strongly encourage participants to take the whole series, but we do allow registrations for individual workshops within the 17-day series.  Participation in the Advanced Training of Trainers does require previous participation in the Training for Social Action Trainers, the other workshops do not have prerequisites.

Class is everywhere. It influences how we feel about ourselves and how we treat each other. It influences who we make friends with, who we partner with and who we do our activism with. That's why we've created a workshop to give activists a hand with the mystery of class dynamics. The goal is stronger activism for deeper social change. Spend two eye-opening days and you'll see clearly why class matters and to see the hidden dynamics of class.

Around the U.S. and the world, activist groups are seeing a resurgence of direct action.
