Third Gathering of The Philadelphia Trainers' Collaborative

The Philadelphia Trainers' Collaborative is a newly-forming group of community educators, organizers, and trainers who believe in and practice education to transform people and communities. Through regular gatherings, we strive to create a space for educators to gain skills, share ideas, brainstorm, and try out new approaches.

You bring up topics you'd like to discuss with other educators & trainers - ANY topics that relate to participatory education, organizing, and training. Groups will form according to interest.


Some of the questions/interests we've heard of at previous gatherings:
*Grappling with issues of oppression as a trainer vis-a-vis your audience
*Implementing project-based learning at a program site
*Brainstorming about a new workshop you're developing
*Involving the faith community in your organizing work

We'll also share some more ever-popular ice-breakers, so bring your best!


When: Thursday, January 28, 2010, from 6:00pm-8:00pm


Where: Bread and Roses, 1500 Walnut Street, 3rd floor conference room


Refreshments will be provided.

There is a suggested $5-10 donation per gathering to cover costs.

Note: Space is limited to 25 participants. Please RSVP to ensure a spot.

To RSVP, or if you have any questions, please contact: phillycollaborative@gmail.com. Or find us on Facebook. Newcomers are welcome!

We thank Bread and Roses for the use of their space!
