Popular education is critical to the organizing process. Deep, sustainable constituency/base building and member development can't happen without it; yet it is often misunderstood. Movement Matters has made popular education an integral part of our week-long Organizing Institute,  but we have also realized that organizers are hungry for more and deeper opportunities to learn, practice, and cross-pollinate their skills in this area.

In our February 2023 Advanced Popular Education Training, participants will to learn how to:

• Develop relevant codes and workshops that deepen constituent engagement and analysis with organizing issues;
• Integrate popular education into ongoing organizing practices;
• Ground ritual and culture as part of the popular education process to build internal group power; and
• Understand their own capacity and continued growth to move and center constituent engagement work.

​​Movement Matters' Advanced Popular Education Training will help participants develop the theoretical understanding and concrete skills to incorporate popular education as a foundational aspect of their community organizing practice.

“This advanced training provided a variety of ideas for popular education activities and practices that I can bring back to my organization, and a framework to think about the purpose of the practice so that we are not just doing popular education for the sake of it—without moving our peoples to action. I believe I will be more creative in developing our popular education approach with our members, guide conversations way better, and also be more intentional about how I do it and why.”

This online training will combine in-person virtual sessions with individual homework and one-on-one accompaniment to allow participants to both learn new skills and put them immediately into practice. 16 content hours + 2 hrs individual accompaniment + 2.5 hr LAC + workbook and specialized materials box.​ ​
