Love is...
Love is…building skills together so we can better care for and look out for each other.
Love is… learning strategies and methods that support our communities to organise together.
Love is… sharing resources to strengthen our communities' safety and resistance.
Love Is... a public training programme focused on community organising. Building more expansive ideas of what love is and can be, Love Is… aims to further a more collaborative and community-wide culture of learning, one that is rooted in generosity and in sharing our resources. What happens when we think of love as an active force, a route to social justice and community connection? What would it mean to approach training as a strong network of organisations and individuals in Huntly, together, as a town?
Led by invited experts and expanding across five months, Love Is… will initially include sessions on child protection, community listening practices, abolitionist bystander intervention and anti-oppression de-escalation.
