Academy Workshop: Tools for Citizen-Led Movements
More and more people want to create change in their neighborhood, city, or society. But how do you turn an idea into a strong civic initiative? Which tools can help you reach people, build a community, and create lasting impact?
During this interactive workshop, we will explore both the practical and strategic tools that strengthen grassroots and citizen-led initiatives. From community building and storytelling to fundraising, social media, partnerships, and campaign development, participants will gain concrete tools and insights to further develop and sustain their initiatives.
The workshop is aimed at residents, activists, grassroots organizations, makers, youth collectives, and anyone committed to building a more just, inclusive, and engaged society. Together, we will explore how local community power can grow into meaningful social change.
The workshop will be led by Saida Derrazi, chair of Comité 21 Maart, co-founder of the Muslim women’s collective S.P.E.A.K, and initiator of several civic and grassroots initiatives. Drawing from years of experience in community organizing, coalition building, and public campaigns, she will share practical knowledge, lessons, and tools rooted in real-life practice.
Through inspiring examples, collaborative exercises, and open exchange, participants will work on developing their own ideas and initiatives. Not only from theory, but from a central question: what do people and communities truly need — and how do we organize that together?
Join us, think with us, and help build initiatives that are not only visible, but that truly make a difference.
From Idea to Impact. From Community Power to Movement.
