Strengthening trans movements: Join our webinar on intersectional organising skills

Intersectional organising is a principle widely aspired to by social movements. It is often easier said than done, as our organising is shaped by the systems of oppression we live under and have been socialised into.

Undoing these patterns requires skills, patience and attention to different layers – individual healing and empowerment, collective and organisational cultures, and movement building strategies.

About the webinar

Consciously developing these skills can help us be more strategic, impactful and aligned with the values we strive for. Too often, anti-oppression work is framed through punitive lenses of guilt and shame. Moving away from these approaches is essential for developing new, transversal and intersectional models of organising that can leverage collective power.

In this 90-minute webinar, we will explore a skillset model that can be used to create a shared vocabulary and reference point for developing intersectional organising approaches.

About the trainer

Ilaj from the ULEX Project has been engaged in grassroots organising for nearly two decades, primarily in Eastern and Southern Europe. As part of the Ulex core team, they design programmes, coordinate training teams and facilitate a wide range of courses. Their expertise lies in holding spaces for collective exploration of burnout, weathering repression, navigating trauma, and cultivating solidarity in social movements. They bring a strong focus on body awareness as a radical means of deconstructing internalised systems of oppression and have been exploring the intersection of transformative somatics and political organising for many years.
