Power Shift 2017 – Training for Change (People & Planet)

Power Shift is a 5 day training for students who want to shift power from big business and elites to people who believe that another world is possible.

We will bring together some of the most inspiring organisers in the UK and leave you powered up and charged to fight racism, economic injustice and climate change.

Power Shift

The right has gained considerable power over the last few years, and we’re running out of time to shift away from rule by elite power, towards justice. Join us this Summer to help create a power shift from a politics of division and persecution to a politics of solidarity.

2016 saw decades of neo-liberalism and xenophobia create Trump and Brexit victories. It was also the hottest year on record. Combined, these forces have devastating impacts for poor people, black, brown, indigenous people, women and nonbinary folk, and for millions of people in Central Asia, across the Horn of Africa, and in the Pacific who cannot protect themselves from the climate crisis that industrialised countries created in the first place.

How can we create a powerful politics of solidarity capable of winning change for climate, social and economic justice? This is THE task of our generation. All over the world people are rising up against racism, economic exploitation and climate injustice. Banks, big business and elites are powerful. But together, we are more powerful.

Join students and organisations from across the UK and Ireland at Power Shift 2017 coming together to:

1. Develop powerful strategies to win tangible change;

2. Learn and share skills to take the fight for transformational change into every space; and

3. Explore how we can create power beyond privilege and build movements of solidarity that take leadership from communities most impacted by injustice.
