Organizing for Creatives: Winter Schedule signup
Below, you can find the workshop’s plan for the winter. It includes 3 group meetings and 2 self-study assignments. Workshops are addressed to artists, freelancers, designers, educators, students, and people who find it hard to call themselves workers. The aim of each workshop is to give participants tools to self-organize and organize in solidarity with others.
Organizing for Creatives is addressed to the residents&friends of Hafnar.haus. Feel welcome to send the registration link (https://forms.gle/osJCWEkKv4CFoC2x9) to the people you care for.
Workshops are powered by the East of Moon, which means that the cost of production is covered, and workshops are free for participants.
What to expect
Anna, the workshop's facilitator, is an experienced culture manager, labour organizer, and certified feminist self-defense trainer. We meet in Lenovo Conference Room (4th floor, library side) in Hafnar.haus. The working group is 8-16 people. The facilitator will lead you through proposed exercises with helpful questions and case studies. Every session is finished with an organized discussion.
