Virtual workshop facilitated by Andrea Reimer. Registration will be limited to 30 participants. The workshop is built around active engagement between participants and will not be recorded or shared.

How many times have you seen great ideas take much longer to come to fruition than they needed to, or even fail all together, because people or politics got in the way? It doesn’t have to be that way: power literacy and power competency are skills like any other that can be learned and perfected. Power informs the way we take up space and whether we reinforce existing power structures or instead decide to refuse powerless identities. This session will allow participants to better understand their own power and the power of others, as well as the tools to use power literacy to advance policy goals.
