Workshop

Toolkit to change the world

Description

How many of us have seen something we wanted to change and didn’t know where to start?

How many times do we want to make change happen and don’t know how?

To answer this challenge, Amnesty International Portugal designed this workshop where, step-by-step, we built together the path to take action, created activism and mobilization for concrete causes.

The workshop was very relevant for people involved in collectives and organizations, as well as all of those who want to bring change for human rights in their contexts and networks.

During 2 hours, participants were engaged in activities, solved challenges, interacted and created solutions, in participatory methodologies and based on concrete problems.
