Deadline: 10 August 2015
The Center for Artistic Activism invites trans activists and artists to apply to participate in 4-day School for Creative Activism (SCA) to be held in Berlin from 8 to 11 October 2015. The seminar is open to activists from TGEU member organisations currently working on or interested in advocacy campaigns that support the human rights of trans people in Europe, and to trans artists, or to artists who have previously worked on trans issues.
Programme Structure
Using a range of contemporary examples of organizing and activism from around the world, participants will study the ways cultural creativity has been employed for raising awareness, building organizations, influencing legislatures, and drafting policy. They will explore ideas from cultural theory to cognitive science to social marketing. They will learn to apply these ideas through a range of practical exercises designed to unlock their imaginations from the prison-house of the possible – and then to figure out how to make the impossible possible, through new strategies and tactics. On the final day, the group will conceptualize, create and stage a sample creative action.
The School for Creative Activism will be led by CAA co-founders Stephen Duncombe and Steve Lambert.
Benefits
Travel, accommodation and meal costs for selected participants will be fully covered during the programme.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants can be activists from TGEU member organisations currently working on or interested in advocacy campaigns that support the human rights of trans people in Europe, and to trans artists, or to artists who have previously worked on trans issues.
