Wild & Wacky, Witty & Wonderful Workshop Work Week—Take 4!
May 29—June 2, 2011
********************************************************************************************
Third Wild and Wacky, Witty and Wonderful Workshop Work Week – otherwise known as W-7.4
Come to the mountains of east Tennessee and spend one of the best starts to your summer ever with Highlander staff and people from around the country at W-7.4.
MORNINGS: Spend the awakening sunlight hours in those renowned rocking chairs building on the idea of Highlander – workshops on popular education, social justice organizing, movement building, and the history of social change & what all that can mean in your organizing and community work today.
AFTERNOONS: Spend the afternoon hours of sunshine in service to the place of Highlander. As part of a team – and in a praxis that continues learning from each other through dialogue and educational exchange – prune in the orchard, cultivate in the garden, clear a hiking trail, plant trees ‘on the hill’, build a bench, or file in the office, for example. There will be volunteer jobs for all levels of skill and ability.
The cost for this 2-day workshop is $350-500 and includes room and board. Some scholarships are available for people with limited means who are actively engaged in social change (please send scholarship application with your registration!)Â Childcare and English/Spanish translation can be provided upon request.
