SUMMARY:Educators for Liberation Programme (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Makan is inviting applications for our ‘Educators for Liberation’ programme\, a transformative education programme for people who want to support Palestine liberation and other struggles for justice through facilitating community learning spaces rooted in liberation and transformation. The programme is open to people worldwide. We welcome application from organisers\, trainers\, educators\, students\, campaigners\, community leaders\, workers\, and anyone active in social justice\, anti-colonial and liberation movements and community spaces. \nApply here! \nAbout the Programme: \nThe programme is rooted in liberation-centered education and builds on Makan’s 10 years of work organising\, teaching\, facilitation\, and collaborations for Palestine and other social justice causes. The programme also draws and learns through archival material from the work of movements and thinkers that came before us\, including Palestinian political education\, anti-colonial movements and tricontinentalism\, anti-racist organising\, feminist movements\, community education and Palestine solidarity. At a time of growing censorship\, repression\, surveillance\, and funding restrictions around Palestine\, there is an urgent pressing need for education that speaks truth to power and nurtures communities committed to the rights of all living beings to live and prosper in societies that respect and refuse to compromise on social\, racial\, environmental\, and economic justice.\n\nBefore applying please note the following :\n\nThis is a voluntary role. Given the current wave of censorship and funding restrictions\, the training programme aims to support and sustain Makan’s work by de-centralising political education and meeting the growing demands of the wider liberation movement. Allowing more communities worldwide to access principled\, accurate\, reflective liberatory education on the Palestinian struggle\nThis training requires a commitment of 8 hours in the span of a month. The training is divided across 4 to 5 weeks in July or September\, depending on your chosen cohort. For the first two rounds of the training we are only accepting 25 facilitators per cohort.\nSessions will take place online every Wednesday evening from 6:00 pm (London time). Each each session will last approximately 2 hours.\nDates for July sessions:  8 July\, 15 July\, 22 July\, 29 July\, 5 August\nDates for September sessions: 23 September\, 30 September\, 7 October\, 14 October\, 21 October\n\n\nProgramme Structure:\n\nThe training will take place over 5 sessions\, with each session lasting around 2 hours. All sessions include participatory approaches and exercises\, and facilitators will be sent materials before and after the session that will help them build confidence\, skills and knowledge.\n\nMore details can be found on the application form here

SUMMARY:Zionism\, Gender\, and Sexuality
DESCRIPTION:In the first part of our ‘Gender\, Sexuality\, and Anti-Colonial Struggle in Palestine’ workshop series\, we examine the relationship between colonialism and gender broadly\, and examine how this applies in the context of Palestine. This workshop will focus specifically on the role of gender in the construction of Israeli society historically\, during the early days of the Zionist movement and the foundation of the Israeli state\, before examining how the role of gender in Israeli society has adapted and shifted over time\, co-opting progressive ideas but maintaining colonial goals.   \nRegister now! \nDeadline: Tuesday 7 July
