SUMMARY:Training For A Just World

We seek a radically hopeful future where:  \n\npeople are free and have what they need to reach their full potential; \nrelationships\, families\, and communities are healthy\, equitable\, nourishing\, and joyful; \ngovernment\, institutions\, and systems are rooted in equity and justice; \nall decisions are grounded in whether they will benefit our future descendants and sustain our beautiful earth. \n\nThe Action Alliance has designed this training to accelerate our collective capacity to bring this vision into being. Every time that we bring people together\, we have an opportunity to plant seeds for a just world for everyone. This experience offers space to reflect and practice ways to cultivate the soil to make way for strong roots\, plant the seeds\, nourish existing seeds so that they grow\, and ease out any unhealthy plants we may discover along the way.

Masks will be required in all indoor group settings.  \nIf your work includes educating people in your community\, training new advocates and organizers\, facilitating groups\, creating social media\, policy advocacy for equity and justice\, or experimenting with new ways of promoting strong\, healthy and thriving systems\, we encourage you and a partner to apply.  \n WHERE: TBD \nDATES: December 6-8\, 2021 \nCOST: Free \nTo apply for this training\, you may download the application or print it out: Training For A Just World Application \nFor more information or to ask further questions\, please email training@vsdvalliance.org
