[Virtual] Learning Circles Begin!

Due to ongoing safety concerns in this time of the coronavirus pandemic, we will  not be able to host this year's Spring Learning Circle or July's Roots and Remedies. In the place of these two opportunities for in-person convenings, we will be inviting organizations who have participated in past Learning Circles and Roots and Remedies to join us in two projects that are designed to last six months each. Participants will receive an honorarium to help cover the time required for these projects.

  • Disaster Recovery Justice and Continuity of Operations Plans—This project will explore the concepts of disaster recovery from both natural (fires, hurricanes, earthquakes) and persistent (immigration policies, economic insecurity, gentrification) sources.

  • Digital Storytelling—Organizations will learn from experts and each other about creating effective messaging, building a compelling story, videography strategies, and creative editing.


About Learning Circles

Four Communities of Praxis (CP) cohorts make up our Learning Circles, which are designed to emphasize grassroots organizers’ strengths for putting ideas into action to address issues important to our communities’ health and well-being. The CPs bring grassroots organizations together from across the country to share expertise, build relationships, encourage collaboration, discuss tools and experiences, and engage in capacity building opportunities. These groups are a platform to facilitate such collaboration, relationship building and peer-learning across all CPs.
