This is our annual opportunity to take stock and think about the future of the Movement and where we go next. As we look to build on recent organising and campaigning successes, the course will help participants to think strategically and embrace new ideas.
Our Summer School provides the space and stimulus for a bolder, bigger and better union Movement. This course is aimed at experienced and newer trade union activists who want an opportunity to think outside the box with key leaders from across the movement.
This summer school will be extra special as it will include the graduation of those that took part in the first ever pilot of the Activist Academy.
Speakers & Sessions
Class Struggle Unionism with Gawain Little (GFTU)
Community Organising Around the Far Right with Kat Wright (ACORN)
Using a Workers' Inquiry to Build Power & Understanding & Organising Not For Profits with Robert Ovetz
