May 2018 Peace and Social Change Workshop

Spaces for Strategizing and Shared Learning: The Peace and Social Change Workshop
Women, Peace and Security Program
Columbia University

In May of 2018, activists, practitioners and academics from across the United States came together at Columbia University at the Peace and Social Change Workshop to strategize with one another and build bridges across a wide range of social movements and organizations. The intensive workshop aimed to generate knowledge, build skills, strengthen relationships and exchange strategies amongst front-line advocates and organizers working on issues of racial and gender justice, social change, and more broadly, genuine security for all people. Workshop participants were chosen from applicants across the country and represented diverse movements and ideologies including gender, racial, environmental, and economic equity.
